Note:"In Angry Public Rhetorics, Celeste Condit explores emotions as motivators and organizers of collective action--a theory that treats humans as "symbol-using animals" to understand the patterns of leadership in global affairs--to account for the way in which anger produced similar rhetorics in three ideologically diverse voices surrounding 9/11: Osama bin Laden, President George W. Bush, and Susan Sontag." --Publisher's description.
