Oxford Dictionary of Political Quotations by Antony Jay

Oxford Dictionary of Political Quotations by Antony Jay

From Aeschylus to Tony Blair and Boris Yeltsin to Malcolm X, Antony Jay's selection of over 4000 quotations reflects every facet of political life. Examples range from the pivotal and momentous to the rhetorical, the sincere, the bemused, the tongue-in-cheek, and the downright rude, with memorable words from the old hands as well as from contemporary quotable figures. The collection contains politicians' views on political events, quips about other politicians, their thoughts on the British monarchy, Europe, economics, warfare, and the state of society, as well as deeper political truths. These are accompanied by discerning and incisive comments from a whole host of other figures such as Al Capone, Peter Cook, Mahatma Gandhi, Garrison Keillor, Dorothy Parker, and Jean-Paul Sartre. Entries are presented in A-Z form with a helpful keyword index.
