Bush and "Boss" Tweed to Condoleeza Rice, and touching on subjects as diverse as warfare, nationalism, honesty, and the ever-sensitive issue of taxation.Newspaper headlines, slogans, and other special categories are grouped together for easier access, and an extensive index helps you find out who really said that half-remembered phrase. The third edition of the Oxford Dictionary of Political Quotations is a blend of noted historical utterances andsound bites of up-to-the-minute events such as the British and US elections, 9/11, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
