How to Win Every Argument: The Use and Abuse of Logic by Madsen Pirie
Synopsis
This is the book your friends will wish you hadn't
read, a witty and infectious guide to arguing successfully. Each entry
deals with one fallacy, explaining what the fallacy is, giving and
analysing an example, outlining when/where/why the particular fallacy
tends to occur and finally showing how you can perpetrate the fallacy
on other people in order to win an argument. Originally published to
great acclaim in 1985 as "The Book of Fallacy", this is a classic
brought up-to-date for a whole new generation. (amazon.co.uk)
