Features: This book collects 34 speeches delivered by political figures such as Franklin D. Roosevelt to vie for the presidency. These speeches can be divided into two categories: one is the speech given after accepting the presidential nomination at the Democratic or Republican National Convention, and the other is the speech delivered during the candidate's campaign travels. This book is designed for speech enthusiasts and all those interested in American issues. It is a window through which one can glimpse the demeanor of American candidates and their mastery of language; it is a mirror reflecting the fierce political struggles in the U.S. political arena, as well as the characteristics and flaws of American elections; it is also a collection of documents that allows readers to evaluate the statements of candidates using historical facts and explore the trajectory of the two-party system in the United States.
