In this witty and infectious book Madsen Pirie provides a complete
guide to using - and indeed abusing - logic in order to win arguments.
He identifies with devastating examples all the most common fallacies
popularly used in argument. We all like to think of ourselves as clear-
headed and logical - but all readers will find in this book fallacies
of which they themselves are guilty. The author shows you how to
simultaneously strengthen your own thinking and identify the weaknesses
in other people arguments. And, more mischievously, Pirie also shows
how to be deliberately illogical - and get away with it. This book will
make you maddeningly smart: your family, friends and opponents will all
wish that you had never read it.
