Speech & Rhetoric Programs

This remarkable series inaugurated our company and had an enormous impact of the study of speech. For 25 years libraries and instructors have archived and preserved some of history’s most influential addresses. Now and 25 years from now you and your students can watch FDR declare war, Churchill attack Hitler, Harry Truman announce the bombing of Japan, Lou Gehrig bid farewell to baseball, Martin Luther King, Jr. relay his dream, Nixon resign the presidency, Reagan plead to tear down the Berlin Wall, and a young Barack Obama ignite a 2004 convention in a speech that would change the course of the country. In their entirety— at your fingertips—in a clear full screen (widescreen where available) image, these speeches breathe life and relevancy into our history and clearly demonstrate the power of speech! More than just speeches, each is accompanied by a biography and analysis of the event and the speech. As Walter Cronkite used to say, “You are there!” To celebrate our 25th anniversary, call us for special prices on the purchase of multiple volumes or access to our On Demand website.

WORDS OF WAR

"...you've really identified what's happening in these presidential addresses. Your four stages really hold up no matter the date or the war.

Provocation "The deeds of our enemy are evil."
Justification "War is in our national interests."
