The son of the historian and presidential speechwriter Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., he has an innate respect for the ghost’s profession, and argues that, at least since Franklin D. Roosevelt brought the office into the media age by grasping radio’s power, presidents’ 'political successes often reflected' their good or bad use of speechwriters. Viewing each subsequent administration through that narrow lens becomes the book’s great limitation, but Mr. Schlesinger makes up for it with his richly detailed sense of the maneuvers behind presidential speeches, from turf battles among staffers to the connection between ghostwriting and policy making." Publisher's noteAn evaluation of the relationships between modern presidents and their speechwriters also offers insight into the agendas behind some of history's most famous addresses, in an account that traces the careers of such figures as Ted Sorensen, Peggy Noonan, and William Safire.
