4.0 out of 5 stars Dissecting the empty rhetoric of Tony Blair, 23 Mar 2005
By A Customer
Whyte applies the sharp scalpel of logic to dissect the empty rhetoric spouted by politicians in general, and the Prime Minister in particular. He demonstrates how Blair has raised to a new level the art of using rhetoric, e.g. words such as 'fair', that sound good but essentially convey nothing and/or are impossible for a sane person to disagree with. I hope Paxman reads it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required reading, 7 Sep 2008
By Paul (Hertfordshire UK) - See all my reviews
Jamie Whyte is very clever. He is a former lecturer of Philosophy at Cambridge University. This book explains the techniques used by Nu Labour to hood wink the electorate. It is a "good read" by that I mean a fun read, but this is a very serious read too. We should all be aware of the dishonest way political leaders present their arguments.

I also recommend his book published in the UK as "Bad Thoughts - A Guide to Clear Thinking" this was published in the USA with the very clear title "Crimes Against Logic - Exploring the Bogus Arguments of Politicians, Priests, Journalists and Other Serial Offenders"

You should read it.
