Product Description
Every President of the United States gives an Inaugural Address once sworn into office. This book has compiled every Inaugural Address from every President in American History. It is fascinating to read each Presidents perception of America's greatest strengths, weaknesses, trials, and joys in their speeches. The entire American history can be chronicled through these speeches - everything from George Washingtons explanation of the monumental task of nation-building that lies before him, to Abraham Lincolns somber speech explaining the enormous challenge of maintaining a unified nation, to Franklin D. Roosevelts unprecedented four Inaugural Addresses, each detailing the Great Depression, World War II, and The New Deal. In more recent history, it is striking to read Bill Clinton's and George W. Bush's promises to the nation and compare their statements to how events and decisions have made (or not made) these promises reality. In addition, this book also includes a bonus section of President-Elect Barack Obama's acceptance speech, for as of publishing, his induction ceremony has not occurred. Women's Suffrage, the Civil Rights Movement, various wars, presidential assasinations, and various threats and treaties with other countries come to life within this presidential context. Anyone who is interested in American History will find this book to be worth beyond measure. Through their own words, each American President's distinct character comes alive in these pages; even the most uninterested person will become completely engaged in this book, which will most certainly make a great addition to any collection.
