Anyone interested in American Republican politics.Descriere
Advance Praise for The Right Words "These absorbing, oft–stirring speeches are made even more fascinating by Wynton Hall′s deft, always insightful commentaries that place these masterpieces in their historical context."
Steve Forbes, President and CEO of Forbes and Editor–in–Chief of Forbes Magazine
"When President Reagan gave the Berlin Wall speech, I was standing between the podium stand and the wall. Someone told us that East Berliners were silently gathering on the other side. When Reagan finished speaking, and the applause died down, we could hear a rustling sound on the other side of the wall, like cattle moving restlessly before a storm. But indeed, a storm of freedom was coming. Thank you, Wynton, for The Right Words to establish the record."
Marlin Fitzwater, White House Press Secretary under Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush
"Aimed at Republicans, The Right Words will hit a much bigger audience: everyone who cares about American history, the presidency, and the hard work of using words well."
Peter Robinson, former Reagan speechwriter and author of How Ronald Reagan Changed My Life
"Wynton Hall is a rising star among those who study conservatives and he has written an important and fascinating book about how Republican words have shaped and molded American history. For those interested in the history of the conservative movement and the Republican Party, this is not to be missed."
Peter Schweizer, research fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University and author of Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy, Reagan′s War: The Epic Story of His Forty Year Struggle and Triumph Over Communism and The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty
"In this stimulating book, Wynton Hall underscores a few of those Republicans who have done the job better than anyone, rightly beginning with Abraham Lincoln and continuing with a few notable surprises. This book is a must for the bookshelf of not just any well–informed Republican, but anyone interested in effective communication."
Paul Kengor, professor, Grove City College, and author of God and Ronald Reagan: A Spiritual Life and The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism
