Story
The Lincoln-Douglas Debates made history and changed its course through seven legendary match-ups between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas during the 1858 Illinois senatorial race. Although he lost the election, Lincoln's gift for oratory and his anti-slavery stance made him a nationally known figure, and led to his election to the presidency in 1860. Never before presented in audio, these debates and great statesmen are brought to life by narrators Richard Dreyfuss and David Strathairn.

How many 'educated' Americans today could sit, listen and understand the debate.

Listening to this is both uplifting and very depressing. Uplifting because the depth of ideas and the wonderful language the ideas are expressed with but depressing thinking that most Americans today, college educated or not, would not be able to understand or appreciate the ideas and language.

Stephen Fry is spot on!

Stephen Fry's performance is perfect, it brings the story to life. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a classic and should be next to Gulliver's Travels in everyone's library.
