The Reagan Persuasion: Charm, Inspire, And Deliver A Winning Message by James C. Humes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is overall a slightly written view of how best to give a speech. Adding in lots of Reagan, Churchill, Eisenhower and many others.
I wonder if this might have been better written as two books. One as a how to give a speech and the other a collection of quotes and anecdotes involving famous speeches made. The effort, in this book, to weave the two together is clunkily pieced together. Added to the clunk are bold headings every few paragraphs. The layout of the book is not good.
There is much good advice throughout. Much can be found elsewhere. Though the overall approach could only be done by the author who was there and accumulated the stories included.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 7 out of 10 points.
