A focused reminder of methods critical to success in winning any argument

This book should be required reading for every professional, whether lawyer, politician, Product Manager or business leader, who has work that succeeds or fails based on their ability to win others to agree with a point of view. It introduces established methods for structuring arguments to win, understanding how to counter assertions, and bringing evidence to bear.

Concise intro

This very brief pamphlet provides a good introduction to the concept and practices of debating. It is very basic due to its intended high school audience but interesting nonetheless.
