Basic Debate is ideal for beginning debaters and has become a classic text that teaches the fundamentals - from the skills of analysis, research, logical reason, and argumentation to the techniques of cross-examination debate, Lincoln-Douglas debate, and student congress. This text also features a chapter devoted to parliamentary procedure and appendices on competing in a debate tournament as well as the judging process.
