Abstract:
History, politics, rhetoric, and journalism: these disparate subjects collide and at times combine in the speeches of great orators. This series brings mainstream political history to life through the medium of oratory and public address, presenting excerpts of more than thirty-five historically and rhetorically significant speeches. Jody Powell explains the historical context, provides biographical background on the speakers, explicates techniques, and places each speech within the larger narrative of American public discourse.
