308,95 kr. Når en amerikansk præsident taler, spidser verden ører.USA’s statsledere kan både imponere og forarge med deres ord. Fra George Washingtons første indsættelsestale til Donald Trumps seneste tweet er der blevet skabt en guldgrube af citater, der kan bruges til at få indblik i USA’s historie, selvforståelse og aktuelle tilstand.I "Præsidentens ord" lægges der en retorisk vinkel på de taler og talere, der er udsprunget af en kompleks historie, men som også selv har sat pejlemærker for USA’s fortsatte kurs. Bogen følger den røde tråd, som snørkler sig gennem amerikansk præsidentiel retorik, og der ses bl.a. på statslederens persona, taletraditioner som State of the Union og mindetalen, samt de skiftende beskrivelser af, hvad det vil sige at være amerikaner. En national identitet, der stadig diskuteres den dag i dag.Fra berømte vendinger til vrøvlende udmeldinger, fra ikoniske sætninger til ironiske bemærkninger; amerikansk præsidentiel retorik er uomgængelig.
