"This book has one simple premise, to take great speeches from history and present them to us in English, along with a simple introduction as to why the author (a presidential speech writer himself) finds them worthy of inclusion.
The speeches are broadly categorized by type, religion, politics, military, etc. and have a broad appeal.
Unlike some writers this book does not focus particularly on multiple speeches from the same speaker. Rather each is taken separately and included for its particular significance.
The shortest is roughly one page in length and the longest goes over several pages. As befits a good speech they are all quite readable, and I've had a lot of fun taking turns with friends reading them to each other."
