"Impeccably timed, speaking to a moment when many people find
themselves drawn into arguments but also fearful of saying
something that will hurt someone or (and) get the person saying it
into trouble...An entertaining primer on rhetorical
techniques."
--Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times "I refused to write this
blurb for Mehdi Hasan. He won that argument! Now I am doing it.
That's how good he is at arguing! I better start reading,
quick."
--Judd Apatow, Emmy Award-winning writer and director "Mehdi
Hasan's book is a masterpiece of rhetorical argument and effective
persuasion! From Demosthenes to Churchill, Cicero to Martin Luther
King, Hasan lays bare the essential elements of how to delight,
instruct, and move an audience. His erudition is as impressive as
his wit. And his moral passion is as authentic as his love of words
and life."
--Cornel West, Dietrich Bonhoeffer Chair at Union Theological
Seminary "I've seen Mehdi win every argument he's entered since we
were at school. This is a masterclass from one of the most
formidable debaters and interviewers of our time."
--Riz Ahmed, Oscar-winning actor and musician "Mehdi was one of the
toughest interviews I did in the White House. In this book, he
takes us on a journey through his own experience over years as a
journalist and through compelling examples from history to capture
the thrill of winning arguments. His book includes the kind of
specific advice and applicable tactics that will make readers want
to finish the book and immediately go find a sparring partner."
--Jen Psaki, former White House Press Secretary "Mehdi is a
generationally talented interviewer. He has mastered his craft, and
in this book, he generously spills his secrets."
--Jonathan Swan, Emmy Award-winning reporter at The New York Times
"Win Every Argument is hugely entertaining, deeply knowledgeable,
and filled with illuminating tips and stories from Mehdi Hasan's
life of debating, interviewing and advocating for his beliefs. Read
this book to find your own voice while learning both the art and
history of persuasion."
--Ben Rhodes, author of After the Fall "Inside our digital echo
chambers, it is far too easy to forgo persuasion in favor of
performance. Yet Hasan reminds us that we will never change the
world unless we change people's minds. An indispensable handbook
for our high-stakes and polarized times."
--Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine
