The Debate Handbook: Winning With Parliamentary Debate Paperback – September 16, 2020

The Debate Handbook offers a clear overview of the structure of Parliamentary Debate. Aimed at high school students at a beginner or intermediate level, the book lays out all the main concepts that one needs to know about parliamentary debate. This book is perfect for debaters and coaches as it offers a clear understanding of the fundamentals. As a judge and a coach, this book helped me understand the activity in much more depth. I'm going to recommend it to my parli debaters!

I liked that you can refer to this book on the fly. If you ever get stumped, the book is organized in a way that is easy to reference in a pinch. I'd sure love to meet this author someday and pick his brain, it's inspiring to see such intelligent speech patterns in a young man. Back in my day, you weren't this well spoken until after you graduated college.

Not only does the book provide the basic fundamentals of debating, it also provides insight into self presentation, speaker responsibilities, staying three steps ahead of your opponent at all times, and more. If one is looking to dive beyond collegiate level debating, this book will take you to your maximum potential.

Great book! I wanted something to help me out specifically with policy rounds. The analysis on stock issues and permutations were especially helpful- great stuff. Definitely what I was looking for!

I really did like this book. I was winning about 1/10 of my debates but now I’m winning all of them!

I suffer from stage fright. Always looking for ways to overcome it.

Wow! The author provides helpful examples and case studies.

I overall knew nothing about debate before I read this book, however this book really gave me insight on how intresting the topic of debate really is! Overall it's a very good read and I would reccomend it to anyone!
