Description
Experience 71 landmark speeches from every US president in this keepsake book of words that have influenced and defined democracy

Forty-five men have addressed the American people as their president of the United States, employing words that have united, inspired, and changed the nation. This stately volume collects the most memorable speeches of every president to date, organized by Inaugural Address, Vice President Ascendent Speech, State of the Union, Policy, Veto, Declaration of War, Ceremonial, and Farewell. Smithsonian curator and scholar of presidential rhetoric Claire Jerry provides important historical context on the speeches, while 25 black-and-white images of Smithsonian presidential objects immerse readers in the time period.

The book's handsome features make it the perfect keepsake, including:

  • Faux-leather case
  • Gold foil stamping
  • Marbled endsheets
  • Quality hardcover binding

Whether Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Grover Cleveland unveiling the Statue of Liberty, George W. Bush's Address to the Nation after 9/11, or President Obama marking the 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery marches, presidential speeches are an important lens through which to understand the country in crisis and in celebration. The Smithsonian Book of Presidential Speeches is a testament to the power of presidential rhetoric, and how it represents the nation and its people.
