For almost thirty years, William F. Gavin wrote speeches at the highest levels of government. Speechwright is his insider's view of politics, a shrewd critique of presidential and congressional rhetoric, and a personal look at the political leaders for whom he wrote speeches. Speechwright describes Gavin's successes, his failures, and his call for political rhetoric built on strong argument rather than the mere search for eloquence.
