Customer Reviews

Great collection of speeches that sample past presidents.
This is an excellent collection of speeches by the presidents of our century. From Theodore Roosevelt to Bill Clinton, the collection offers a great way of sampling the ideas and styles of the presidents of our past. While there may be some inevitable quibbling about the choices (I myself had some doubts about the ones chosen from FDR's large number of addresses), they provide both the best examples of presidential oratory and a selection of some of the historic speeches of the century. I highly recommend this set for the scholar, the student of American history, or any political wonk who enjoys the "Greatest Hits."
