No Uncertain Terms: More Writing from the Popular on Language Column in the New York Times Magazine Hardcover – 1 Jun. 2003

Safire is a teacher of the word wriiten and he knows every thing of the political labyrinth. But I'm sorry, the question is an other! After Obama the Usa have lost the major part of the their international power. Trump has only partially corrected this fact. Biden is saving in Ucraina a certain idea of democracy. The history of last 30 years risks to be very hard.

As is the case with all of the writings of the late Mr Safire, the book "No Uncertain Terms" allows the reader to enjoy an array of observations assembled by a person who thought seriously and who wrote both wittily and substantively about his subject: English communication. For many years, I was a devoted reader of Mr Safire's "On Language" columns as published each Sunday in The New York Times Magazine. Whenever Mr Safire was on vacation and his column was omitted from The New York Times Magazine, I felt shortchanged. I was in those days and I remain to the present a student of our rich and evolving language. On rare occasion, I find myself in conflict with Mr Safire's expressed views, but I am able nevertheless to profit from his writings. Clear, correct communication, both oral and written, has long been in my judgment a worthy endeavor. Accordingly, I continue to be enriched by Mr Safire's oeuvre, even though he is no longer in our midst. The readers of this review may reasonably infer that I highly recommend "No Uncertain Terms" to prospective purchasers of books.

If you like descriptive language that conveys keys to helping the listener/reader to understanding what you want to say, this is a good read.

The condition of the book is good; a bit of use is visible but overall it is fine. The content isn't quite what I expected. Perhaps I didn't read enough of Mr. Safire's columns. It is witty and informative but in some cases a bit too verbose.

Very helpful and entertaining. What a master of language Safire was!
