Review of 'Give Them an Argument' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This breaks down logic in a way that I really respect but also struggle to understand.
I think I need to reread it.

Many serious leftists have learned to distrust talk of logic and logical fallacies, associated with right-wing "logicbros". This is a serious mistake.

In Give Them an Argument, Ben Burgis arms his reader with the essential knowledge of formal logic and informal fallacies.
