Customer Reviews

This book is a must-have for ALL U.S. citizens!

Ever wondered what comes after, "Four score and seven years ago..."? Do you know how many Constitutional rights you have, and if so, what they all are? This book will guide you through the clouds of ignorance concerning some of the most important speeches and documents in the history of our United States. It starts with Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" (something I think our society is seriously lacking these days), and ends with LBJ's speech, "The American Promise". I highly recommend this very enlightening compilation!
