Review:
About the Author:
"Berry and Gottheimer bring their own depth of insight to an analysis of each of the speeches and the vision they embody.... A book to savor and return to for subsequent readings."--Kirkus Reviews
"In the long sweep of history, readers will be able to refer to this work to better understand and appreciate the power of words of our forty-fourth president of the United States."--Dana Perino, former White House press secretary "It was the late Richard Neustadt who famously wrote that 'presidential power is the power to persuade.' This rich and thoughtful collection of the stories behind the speeches that launched Barack Obama to the national stage and eventually the presidency demonstrates how incredible this power can be when placed in the hands of a brilliant and gifted orator. Power in Words highlights President Obama's ability--and the abilities of his talented speechwriters and advisers--to translate the unspoken desire of the American people for a leader with humility, intelligence, and understanding into a language that all Americans could connect with and believe in."--John Podesta, former chief of staff for President Bill Clinton and CEO of the Center for American Progress "Words matter, especially in a time of crisis. Learn how Obama's words got him elected, and why it matters to all of us, in this engaging look at his rise to the presidency."--Eric Schmidt, chair/CEO of Google Inc. From the Hardcover edition.Mary Frances Berry is the Geraldine R. Segal Professor of American Social Thought and professor of history at the University of Pennsylvania, and the author of nine books. The recipient of thirty-three honorary degrees, she has been chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, is a regular contributor to Politico, and has appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher, Anderson Cooper 360, The Daily Show, Tavis Smiley, and PBS's NewsHour. Josh Gottheimer was presidential speechwriter and special assistant to President Bill Clinton; appears on MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN as a political analyst; edited Ripples of Hope: Great American Civil Rights Speeches; and is executive president of the global PR firm Burson-Marsteller.
