Summary: A Quantum Leap in Hands On Debating Instruction!
Review: As a former Australian Primary Schools Debating champion I have never had the pleasure to read a more cogent and succinct anaylysis of debating. Not only have I prospered as a debater from reading this book but after lending it to my team we became a more effective and enthusiastic operating unit.I have searched far and wide for a better debating book but I am yet to find one. Bravo Hooke and Philips - World Debating Champions and now Champion Debating Instructors. This book remains a debaters bible and best friend.

Summary: Great Book to Learn to Debate
Review: I bought this book for my son who debates at High School (in Australia) - where he receives very little good coaching from his teacher. This book explained the basics of debating to him (and me). The tips to improve speaking styles were great - simple things like a great tip on how to deal with nervousness. My son loved the book because it is written in such a funny, non-stuffy style. He read sections aloud to me - the parts that made him laugh - and I found them intriguing enough to want to read it myself. I read it myself and now have a much better idea of what is going on during his school debates. This book is great.
