De: SpeechWorks - compilation, Barack Obama

Narrado por: Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan

A day that will live in infamy.... Nothing to fear but fear itself.... Ask not what your country can do for you.... Ich bin ein Berliner.... Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall. From Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Barack Obama, this collection features original speeches by the presidents of the United States. These are actual historic recordings, the sound quality represents the available audio technology of the era, and varies by recording.

Pairs well with history books on the full story

This is, of course, marketing at its biggest popular level. It goes ever-so-well with some background in the actual policies being implemented, and the way the situations actually played out. As mostly a speaker by trade, and an amateur history buff, I delight in these live, original performances, in the theater of history unfolding.

Great topics…wish for details

I love listening to the past and hearing our history laid out from such a high perspective. Such powerful speaking!! So interesting to hear voices from the past that still reflect some current issues. I do really, really wish the Chapter guide shared the President name and either the date of the speech or the reason for the speech (ie. 2nd inauguration, Civil Rights Bill intro)

An excellent collection
