      abstract = {Serving as President Kennedy's speechwriter from 1952  until 1963, Sorensen was a key advisor in the White House  and a gatekeeper of the Kennedy legacy in the years after  his assassination. This book presents a compelling portrait  of Sorensen's life and place in the American political  landscape. He became an outspoken critic of corruption in  politics, a vocal opponent of the militarist foreign policy  approach that successive administrations adopted, and an  advisor to Democratic presidential candidates such as  Robert F. Kennedy and Barack Obama. Taking up questions  about the role of presidential advisors and the concept of  public service, an ideal that was central to the most  famous of the speeches that Sorensen wrote for President  Kennedy, Michelle A. Ulyatt offers new insight into  Sorensen’s influence on the Kennedy years and the  generation of leaders who came after.},
