| Summary |
More than 40 speeches-considered among the greatest of all time-comprise this marvelous collection. All the works are unabridged, and the most contemporary are live recordings, from political figures such as Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy to Civil Rights activists Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X-from sports figures Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig to cultural events including King Edward VIII's abdication speech and Neil Armstrong's moon landing proclamation. Historical speeches over the centuries-read by professional actors-feature such prominent names as Socrates, Joan of Arc, Martin Luther, Queen Elizabeth I, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Robespierre, John Brown, Abraham Lincoln, Booker T. Washington, Susan B. Anthony, Lady Astor, Nikolai Lenin, Amelia Earhart, and David Ben-Gurion. |
