Abraham Lincoln was a fabulous orator, and some of his speeches have become some of the most read - and studied. The Gettysburg Address is one of the most read of his speeches, and highly important in American history. While all his speeches have a purpose, the three delved into through this book are ones that really highlight important issues of the day.
Diana Schaub takes an in-depth look at three of the speeches, giving an analysis and view that delights those who are interested in both politics and history. For those that love Lincoln - these three speeches give a better viewpoint into his skills as an orator and his dedication.
This book was a great read and one that I highly recommend!

His Greatest Speeches is a really great read for those interested in studying literature and politics. This book explores three of Abraham Lincoln's most powerful speeches in a really thought-provoking way. This book also really demonstrates how much of a linguistic genius old Abe was for his time and is a really good read if you like history.
