This Sweeping History Of The United States Told Through Fifteen Speeches Relives The Battle Over American Identity, From A New York Times Bestselling Author And One Of President Barack ObamaS Former Speechwriters.For 250 Years, We Have Debated What It Means To Be American. This Question Shaped The Compromises In Our Constitution And The Arguments WeVe Been Having Ever SinceSpawning Abolitionism, Secession, And Civil War; Populism, Mass Migration, And Global Leadership; Movements For Reform And The Backlashes To Them. In All We Say, Ben Rhodes Tells The Story Of Fifteen SpeechesSome Iconic, Others Long ForgottenWhich Have Both Shaped And Reflected The Argument Americans Have Been Having From Our Founding To The Intense Divisions Of Our Time.Through Riveting And Beautifully Rendered Accounts Of The People, Movements, And Moments That Produced These Speeches, Rhodes Traces The History Of Our Battle Over Identity. The Result Is A Singular And Revealing Portrait Of America Itself: A Nation Divided Between Two StoriesOne Of Inheritance, Power, And Exclusion, The Other Of Equality, Striving, And Belonging. Drawing On A Decade Writing For Barack Obama, Rhodes Also Shows Us How Words Can Redirect A Nation, What Makes A Speech Enduring, And Why Oratory Is A Unique Form Of Persuasion In American Democracy.From Benjamin FranklinS Call For Compromise At The Constitutional Convention, To Alexander Stephens Case For White Supremacy As The Cornerstone Of The Confederacy; From Martin Luther KingS Dream Of True Equality To Donald TrumpS Rallying Cry Against Democracy Itself, These Speeches Remind Us That History Is A Living Argument.
