Presidents and Their Pens: The Story of White House Speechwriters
explores 23 presidencies through the detailed analysis of speeches
including Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Teddy Roosevelt's "Big
Stick" speech, Eisenhower's farewell to the nation, and Bill
Clinton's compassionate words in the wake of tragedy. Confidant and
wordsmith to five Republican presidents (Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford,
Reagan, and George H.W. Bush), professor of language and noted
historian James C. Humes tells how and why presidential speeches
have marked milestones in our nation's history, from Washington
through Obama. Readers will find out how FDR brought down the house
with humor, how "Give 'em hell" Harry Truman planned his
Whistle-Stop Tours, and how Ronald Reagan defied his advisors to
make history at the Berlin Wall. Presenting stories of greatness as
well as tragically unfulfilled promise, Presidents and Their Pens
also features an introduction by author and historian Julie Nixon
Eisenhower.
