Get a glimpse of New York like you've never seen it before with James F. Gill's eye-opening new book, What I Said Was: Speeches on Politics, Religion, the Law, and Social Justice.

This collection of twenty-three speeches, delivered by the author over the course of three decades, features some of his brightest moments in the Big Apple and beyond. As fresh as the day he delivered them, these talks are sure to resonate with a whole new generation of Americans.

Through his insightful observations, Gill introduces readers to a life in which anything is truly possible. Spanning topics as diverse as his dealings with the Catholic Church, his experiences at Fordham Law School, his friendship with Ed Koch, and his work for the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Gill keeps audiences on their toes as they laugh and learn right along with him.

Witty, insightful, and always thought-provoking,

What I Said Was: Speeches on Politics, Religion, the Law, and Social Justice serves as homage to Gill's friends, lifework, social causes, and the great state he calls home. It is a glimpse into the life of a man who has managed to achieve so much.
