“Don’t give a speech; tell a story. Persuade a listener. Inspire a nation. This solid guide for speechwriters and speechgivers,written by a pair of the top practitioners of the art, makes both the philosophical case of why speechwriting matters and the very practical one of precisely how to make a speech work.”
