Has One Speech You Won't Find Anywhere Else, November 29, 2008
This review is from: Inspire a Nation: Barack Obama's Most Electrifying Speeches of the 2008 Election (International Edition): Includes Obama's Berlin Speech and Election Night Victory Speech (Paperback)
The details of the book are covered well in other reviews, but I do
want to add that this book includes the last speech of his campaign
(on Nov 3 in Manassas Virgina) where he diverts from his stump speech
a bit and reflects on his historic campaign.
This is significant because you will not be able to find a transcript
of this one online because a copy was not given to reporters. As
riveting as his victory speech.

Wow - Totally Delivers, September 18, 2008
This review is from: Inspire a Nation: Barack Obama's Most Electrifying Speeches of the 2008 Election (International Edition): Includes Obama's Berlin Speech and Election Night Victory Speech (Paperback)
This book starts with Obama's speech announcing his candidacy for the President of the United States and goes straight through to his riveting victory speech in Grant Park in front of 200,000+ people.
This book also includes --
The night he won the Iowa Caucus and declared "...at this moment, in this election, we are ready to believe again."
The historic "race speech" where Obama shares his vision for "a more perfect union."
The last night of the democratic primary, when, after 54 contests, he could say "I will be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States."
There are a total of 15, complete, unedited, full text transcripts which can be read and savored in a fraction of the time of watching these speeches live. I was able to relive the best moments of the campaign, one after another, after another.
...And of course his victory speech on Nov 4, 2008 when he became President of the United States.

All the Excitement of the 2008 Election, November 29, 2008
This review is from: Inspire a Nation: Barack Obama's Most Electrifying Speeches of the 2008 Election (International Edition): Includes Obama's Berlin Speech and Election Night Victory Speech (Paperback)
Being on a budget I let myself get only one item to remember the election by -- this book was it.
It has every important speech of the campaign starting with his announcement to run for president and ending with his Victory speech on election night in Grant Park. In between you get his speech on race, his acceptance speech at the democratic national convention, his speech after he won the Iowa caucuses -- and 11 others.
This edition is called the "international version" because it contains a bonus speech -- his one in Berlin, which technically was not part of his campaign.
The best part is that when you read these, you actually hear his voice, and find yourself re-inspired.
