    3.0 out of 5 stars Three Great Speeches
    Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2012

    It would be nice when books like this are sold to tell the buyer what speeches are on the enclosed disc. In this case there are three: Ronald Reagan's "Space Shuttle Challenger" Address, Edward M Kennedy's "Faith and Country, Tolerance and Truth in America", and "Douglas MacArthur's Thayer Award Acceptance Address. I was somewhat disappointed with this all old white men approach, but certainly they're good speeches to analyse. So long as you know what you're buying.

    If you're looking to expand your speech preparation library by a book, this could be the one. Solid example for both preparation directing the reader into the foundations of good, solid preparatory techniques, including writing, and good examples of successful speeches delivered by others in a variety of situations. - Prof Michael Haller

    5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable & enlightening
    Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2008
    I found this book to be an enjoyable and enlightening read. The CD that is included is a great bonus! This book should impact and be applicable for any demographic. `Great Speeches for Better Speaking' drips of history and ties together why and how rhetoric, as it relates to public speaking, is so very important.

    For the casual reader who enjoys history and what goes on behind the scenes of some of the most important speeches of our time, to the intellectual who strives to learn the integral parts of what makes a speech work or not work; this book caters to all.

    I'm certain the author had a difficult time in narrowing down and selecting the speeches for this book, which begs the question, will there be more?
