I read the audio version of this, which was definitely the way to go. The collection includes great speeches by a variety of historical figures. Each one is read beautifully, giving full weight to the significance of the moment with a brief explanation of who gave the speech and what the context was. I wish a few more speeches had been included. The collection is a small one and there are so many more that could have given the book even more weight.
