A powerful look at Barack Obama's political rhetoric. An analysis of his amazing oratorical skill.
The book did take a little while to get through. The commentary was a bit drawn out. But I did enjoy reading the speeches and being able to look at 18 of them and see the development of the message and his vision. Very interesting.
