What is Speaking of Freedom : the Collected Speeches about?

A Collection Of More Than Forty Speeches Given By The Former President During His Term In Office Explores Such Topics As The Collapse Of The Soviet Union, The First Gulf War, And The Signing Of The Americans With Disabilities Act. Through The Lens Of More Than Forty Speeches From His Presidency, George H.w. Bush Takes A Special Look Back On The Momentous Global Events Of 1989-1992--the Fall Of The Berlin Wall, The Collapse Of The Soviet Union, And The Liberation Of Kuwait, To Name A Few--and Reminisces About What It Was Like To Be President Through Such Unprecedented Times. Choosing From Among The Hundreds Of Speeches He Gave While In Office, Former President Bush Selects Those That Meant The Most To Him And Introduces Each One With Candid Comments Recalling The Circumstances And Events Leading Up To It.

We Learned Quickly That Words Mattered, He Writes In The Opening Pages Of Speaking Of Freedom. Selections Throughout The Book Bring Back The Fascinating Times Of Lech Walesa, Mikhail Gorbachev, Václav Havel, And Even Sadda
