The Anti-Intellectual Presidency: The Decline of Presidential Rhetoric from George Washington to George W. Bush
Lim, Elvin (, Wesleyan University)
In this book, Elvin Lim draws on interviews with more than 40 presidential speechwriters to investigate this relentless qualitative decline, over the course of 200 years, in our presidents' ability to communicate with the public. Sharply written and incisively argued, this book sheds new light on the murky depths of presidential oratory, illuminating both the causes and consequences of this substantive impoverishment.
