Excellent compilation...,

This review is from: Great Speeches (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
Excellent compilation of FDR's best speeches--27 in all. As with the collection of Lincoln's speeches that I read not too long ago, these speeches lose nothing when being read (and, with FDR, a great many of these speeches are available on various forms of media to be heard and seen). He was a master at the art of speech-making, and making you feel that he was speaking directly to you, rather than to an entire gathering or to millions over the radio.Highly recommended, as it gives us a glimpse into the difficult times of FDR's administration, and FDR himself.
