 author:</em></p>\n<p><strong>Ben Rhodes</strong>&nbsp\;is a writer on U.S.
  and global politics. A contributor to the <em>New York Times</em> and MSN
 OW\, and co-host of <em>Pod Save the World</em>\, Ben has authored two <em
 >New York Times</em> bestsellers&mdash\;<em>After the Fall</em> and <em>Th
 e World As It Is: A Memoir of the Obama White House</em>. His latest book\
 , <strong><em>All We Say</em></strong>\, is a sweeping look at the battle 
 over American identity and the questions\, &ldquo\;What does it mean to be
  American? Who gets to decide?&rdquo\;.&nbsp\;He previously served as Depu
 ty National Security Advisor to President Barack Obama.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>In&
 nbsp\;<em><strong>All We Say</strong></em>\, Ben Rhodes tells the story of
  fifteen speeches&mdash\;some iconic\, others long forgotten&mdash\;which 
 have both shaped and reflected the argument Americans have been having fro
 m our founding to the intense divisions of our time.</p>\n<p>Through rivet
 ing and beautifully rendered accounts of the people\, movements\, and mome
 nts that produced these speeches\, Rhodes traces the history of our battle
  over identity. The result is a singular and revealing portrait of America
  itself: a nation divided between two stories&mdash\;one of inheritance\, 
 power\, and exclusion\, the other of equality\, striving\, and belonging. 
 Drawing on a decade writing for Barack Obama\, Rhodes also shows us how wo
 rds can redirect a nation\, what makes a speech enduring\, and why oratory
  is a unique form of persuasion in American democracy.<br /><br />Ben Rhod
 es will be in conversation with&nbsp\;<strong>Mike McIntyre</strong>\, exe
 cutive editor of Ideastream Public Media and host of the "Sound of Ideas R
 eporters Roundtable" on 89.7 WKSU and "Ideas" on WVIZ-PBS.</p>\n<hr />\n<h
