Great Speeches in History

Written by Sharon Bennett on December 21st, 2005

  • Book Rating: 4/5

The speeches were great and a pleasure to listen to. I have read all of them at one time or another in school, but hearing them put them into a better context for me. The history given at the beginning of each speech really set the stage for what was said.
