** THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER **
All We Say is the story of the United States through fifteen speeches some iconic, others long forgotten, all pivotal from its founding to the intense divisions of our times, from one of President Obama's former speechwriters.
'A learned and excellently sane book' - Sam Leith, Daily Telegraph (5 Stars)
'Wonderful fascinating, thought-provoking and full of insights. Essential reading' - Justin Web
For 250 years, America has debated what it means to be American. The question shaped the compromises in the Constitution and the arguments they ve had ever since, spawning abolitionism, secession and civil war; populism, mass migration and global leadership; movements for reform and the backlashes to them.
Through riveting accounts of the people, movements and moments that produced these speeches, Rhodes traces the history of America's battle over identity.
The result is a singular and revealing portrait of the United States: a nation divided between two stories one of inheritance, power, and exclusion, the other of equality, striving, and belonging.
Drawing on a decade writing for Barack Obama, Rhodes also reveals how words can redirect a nation, what makes a speech enduring, and why oratory is a unique form of persuasion in a democracy.
These speeches remind us that history is a living argument. At a time when American identity and truth is contested, All We Say offers a fresh and powerful look at who America really is, and who it could still become.
Ben Rhodes reminds us what American greatness actually sounds like, and what it means Ayad Akhtar
