Not afraid to tackle provocative topics in American culture, Michael Moore has earned both applause and invective in his career as a documentarian. In the first in-depth study of Moore's feature-length documentary films, Thomas W. Benson and Brian J. Snee have gathered leading rhetoric scholars to examine the production, rhetorical appeals, and audience reception of these films.
