内容简介 This revised new edition provides 5,000 quotations, covering the people, events, and ideas of some 2,500 years of politics: the inspiring speeches and the disastrous gaffes. Antony Jay has selected the best sayings of and about politicians both past and present, ranging from Karl Marx to George W. Bush and "Boss" Tweed to Condoleeza Rice, and touching on subjects as diverse as warfare, nationalism, honesty, and the ever-sensitive issue of taxation.
Newspaper headlines, slogans, and other special categories are grouped together for easier access, and an extensive index helps you find out who really said that half-remembered phrase. The third edition of the
Oxford Dictionary of Political Quotations is a blend of noted historical utterances and sound bites of up-to-the-minute events such as the British and US elections, 9/11, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
作者简介 Antony Jay has spent 50 years travelling in the realms of government and politics as a television writer and producer. The journey has included the editorship of Tonight, writing the two royal TV documentaries Royal Family and Elizabeth R, and many programmes with Sir David Frost, including the twelve interviews with Harold Wilson in A Prime Minister on Prime Ministers. He was a senior executive in BBC TV, and a member of the government's Annan Committee on the Future of Broadcasting. In the 1980s he co-wrote the hugely successful comedies Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister.
