Omschrijving

Political and diplomatic oratory has always been one of the pillars of governance, persuasion, and mass manipulation. From Pericles and Cicero to Churchill, Kennedy, and Putin, words have shaped empires, justified wars, and consolidated leadership. This work explores how speeches have built history and continue to define the course of nations.

With a detailed analysis, it examines how politicians and diplomats structure their speeches, employ persuasion techniques, and use language to control narratives. Covering everything from rhetoric in Ancient Greece and Republican Rome to contemporary discourse in the digital era, it delves into key historical moments such as the French Revolution, the rise of totalitarian regimes, and the Cold War.

In an era of post-truth, fake news, and polarized rhetoric, understanding the tools of oratory is essential for critically analyzing public discourse and avoiding manipulative narratives. Beyond examining historical speeches and persuasion strategies, this book discusses the influence of technology on politics and how citizens can strengthen their argumentation skills and critically interpret political communication.

For those seeking to understand how political communication shapes societies, influences elections, and structures global power, this reading is indispensable. Scholars, students, politicians, diplomats, and enthusiasts of the art of oratory will find a profound analysis of the role of speech in the game of power.

The book is structured into four sections covering:

The evolution of political oratory, from classical civilizations to modern leaders The rhetorical strategies used to create charisma and control political narratives The role of diplomatic discourse in international negotiations and global organizations The impact of social media, disinformation, and artificial intelligence on political communication
