 a treasure chest of speeches January 31, 2009

I teach an introductory public speaking course at a local university and start each class with a speech from one of these DVDs. They're wonderful examples of great public speaking and, I hope, an inspiration to my students. For anyone who appreciates history and major political figures, this is a terrific collection to own.

I think it`s a great product. It could be better if it had transcriptions of the speeches.
