The "resounding rhetoric," from Kennedy's celebrated inaugural address, to the outlandish antics of the Yippies, is the focus of this book. The importance of this volume is its consideration of both people in power (presidents) and people out of power (protesters), and its delineation of the different rhetorical bases that each had to work from in participating in the politics of the 1960s. An excellent and lucid introduction to the study of political rhetoric, Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 245-303) and index Notes Print version record Subject Rhetoric -- Political aspects -- United States -- History -- 20th century Presidents -- United States -- History -- 20th century Vietnam War, 1961-1975 -- Protest movements.
