Description

Kristen Woronoff (au); Harry Rubenstein (in). For more than 200 years, Americans have witnessed the transfer of power from one president to another without bloodshed or revolution. This peaceful & orderly transition is one of our government’s great accomplishments. Here is a unique glimpse into our nation’s history with the speeches of America’s greatest leaders, exactly as they were delivered. Each speech includes photos, political background, & sidebars -- all of which put each inauguration into clear historical perspective. The true character of each president is revealed through his words & by the message he chose to deliver on one of the country’s most important days. Each speech is accompanied by a picture of the president, his wife, & his v.p., & illus. of events from his term.
