In \u003ci\u003eReagan's Soviet Rhetoric: Telling the Soviet Redemption Story\u003c\/i\u003e, rhetorical scholar Mark LaVoie examines the ways Reagan negotiated his shift from a vehemently anti-communist discourse to a rhetoric of guarded optimism about the future of US-Soviet relations that ultimately revealed a Soviet redemption narrative. Following Reagan's Soviet rhetoric from his 1947 testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee to his Farewell Address in 1989, LaVoie considers the President's use of \"Soviet\/Nazi analogy,\" \"historical narrative,\" \"reciprocity,\" and other rhetorical strategies in creating the narrative. Scholars and students of rhetoric, history, and international relations will find this book particularly interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark LaVoie\u003c\/b\u003e is assistant professor in the Communication \u0026amp; Literature Department at Pennsylvania College of Technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 141\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 17, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50357298561261,"sku":"9781793647986","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/8_4Z9b3E2F9781793647986.webp?v=1785348370","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/products\/reagans-soviet-rhetoric-telling-the-soviet-redemption-story-hardcover","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
