    STRICTLY SPEAKING

  • Reviews
    " No book on speaking does a better job on what to do immediately prior to a speech and the first minute of a speech."

    "I have yet to find any book on speaking that gives such sound insightful advice for the high level or top management speaker."
    An Amazon Reviewer Las Vegas

    "This is by far the best book I've come across on the subject of Public Speaking. The best thing is that it's full of practical exercises and specific recommendations to help you improve as a public speaker. Great for both the novice and the experienced speaker."
    An Amazon Reviewer South Carolina
    "The six chapters on mechanics are just great, you can hardly find so much practical advice in other public speaking books."
    An Amazon Reviewer Hong Kong

      USA TODAY

    • "USA Today is the word of a great-souled patriot, one possessed of Twain's gift for story telling, and of Tocqueville's powers of observation concerning things American. Buckley's bittersweet tour de force argues - persuasively, passionately - that America has lost her moral compass. A marvelous read nonetheless."

      Gerard V. Bradley, Professor of Law, Notre Dame

      "USA Today is the lament of a truly wise patriot with a broken heart. No American who loves his country will read it without sharing the author's profound sadness at our national failings. Reid Buckley is an 'other Isaiah' crying out to the people for repentance and reform. If we heed this call, surely the God who has for more than two centuries so richly blessed this land will not turn His face away from us."

      Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions, Princeton University

      "Throughout USA Today, Buckley drives his readers along a lexiconic highway of thought-provoking tales gleaned only through a classical education. Darker images are drawn from personal life experiences. Referring to the recent spate of high school shootings and child molestations, Buckley points to a new 'bloodless species of human being, Frankenstein's monsters of our own society's creation.'"

      W. Thomas Smith, Jr., Freelance Journalist
