Of the hundreds of books written about John F. Kennedy, none have
yet taken the full measure of the role that Theodore Sorensen
played in shaping his presidency. Serving as President Kennedy's
speechwriter from 1952 until 1963, Sorensen was a key advisor in
the White House and a gatekeeper of the Kennedy legacy in the years
after his assassination. This book presents a compelling portrait
of Sorensen's life and place in the American political landscape.
He became an outspoken critic of corruption in politics, a vocal
opponent of the militarist foreign policy approach that successive
administrations adopted, and an advisor to Democratic presidential
candidates such as Robert F. Kennedy and Barack Obama. Taking up
questions about the role of presidential advisors and the concept
of public service, an ideal that was central to the most famous of
the speeches that Sorensen wrote for President Kennedy, Michelle A.
Ulyatt offers new insight into Sorensen's influence on the Kennedy
years and the generation of leaders who came after.
