Dr Dominic Hughes and Benedict Philips, the Oxford Union's most successful debating pair in recent years, give tips and advice on all forms of public speaking - from the wedding address to the boardroom presentation. This book is the essential tool for anyone wishing to become an accomplished public speaker by providing the secrets behind writing and performing great speeches through case studies and lessons from famous speeches and speakers.
