Has anyone looked at this book? Is it any good?

I have seen it, and I am not a fan.

These are the clearly not great documents

John F. Kennedy's Inaugural Address (20 January 1961)
Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" Speech (28 August 1963)
Ronald Reagan's Speech: "The Boys of Pointe du Hoc" (6 June 1984)

and these were given by men condemned by contemporary Church leaders, but praised by more modern ones, so take your pick .

The Emancipation Proclamation (1863)
The Gettysburg Address (1863)
Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address (1865)

This is a bit like the list of great books list we had going here a while back. No ones ever going to agree. I would have put the Magna Carta on that list. It's the foundation of Anglo-American liberty.
