Rhetoric: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)

The Very Short Introductions are a major educational resource. There are presently nearly 700 small books covering a very wide range of subjects. Although short, the Introductions are substantial in content. Everyone would benefit from reading these books to broaden their knowledge and understanding in diverse areas of life. Perseverance with some subjects may be required but be prepared to be surprised, enlightened and enriched.

Useful brief overview. Due to plenty of referencing you can find where to continue learning about rhetoric. Also points to a useful website that covers Rhetoric in depth.

Lots of good stuff, lost me near the end with US/International politics though.

excellent introduction
