'This is exactly the book we were waiting for: a clear and thorough method for analyzing political discourse, written from a critical perspective and paying due attention to practical arguments. Isabela and Norman Fairclough have done a great job.' - Frans H. van Eemeren, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
