Dr. Bob and Bill W. Speak
by Michael Fitzpatrick
Signed & Personally Inscribed by the Author
In Dr. Bob and Bill W. Speak, Michael Fitzpatrick brings together one of the most compelling and intimate collections ever assembled about the co-founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. Drawing from recordings, letters, rare talks, and firsthand stories, this book allows readers to hear the voices of Dr. Bob Smith and Bill Wilson as they shared their experience, strength, and hope during AA’s formative years.
This is not a biography written from a distance. It is a carefully curated portrait built from the founders’ own words—how they spoke about sobriety, humility, service, and the spiritual principles that made Alcoholics Anonymous possible. Through these pages, Dr. Bob and Bill W. come alive not as historical figures, but as sober alcoholics speaking to other alcoholics.
Michael Fitzpatrick, respected AA historian and author, has spent decades preserving and sharing early AA history. In this book, he weaves together spoken transcripts, correspondence, and contextual commentary to create a living conversation between the reader and the men who helped shape a worldwide fellowship.
Dr. Bob and Bill W. Speak is essential reading for AA members seeking a deeper connection to the Fellowship’s roots, sponsors and sponsees studying the founders’ original message, collectors of AA history and recovery literature, and anyone inspired by lives transformed through spiritual awakening and service
This book reminds us that AA did not begin as an institution—but as two alcoholics talking honestly with one another, and then carrying that message forward.
