Historical Speeches of Famous American Leaders - International Relations CD Audio CDs: Songs

Although audio recordings are hardly ever looked upon as sources of information, this CD demonstrates how true this can be. Political speeches are among the best comments on a country’s state of affairs - highlighting issues of great concern and applauding noteworthy achievements. They also encapsulate a country’s dreams and highlight its failures.

The years following World War I had people guessing about which way America was headed and what her priorities should be. Many thought the leaders should focus on matters of national interest rather than meddle with the affairs of faraway European countries. These were trying time for leaders and representatives of the people as much as for the man on the streets. The speeches on this CD provide an insight into how the country coped with these difficult times. Featured here are eight fabulously crafted speeches, which are undeniably rich in language and content and strong in convictions. The audio quality is superb despite the passing of many years and we have a classic example of how advanced sound recording techniques have come to the rescue of invaluable historic data.

For all those who harbor a desire to listen first hand to their national heroes and those with a yearning for historical insight, this CD is a must have!
