Title: Poor selection
Review: I wouldn't touch a book that lists a speech delivered as an eulogy for Princess Diana as a something that 'shook the world'.It also suffers from the sin common to most Americans- being blind to most things that happen outside America. The author has no clue on what happened elsewhere in the world- for instance misses out on the powerful oratory of Nehru and Gandhi that to no small extent was reponsible for the British Empire to come crumbling down. Instead we have a roster of American presidents starting with Teddy Roosevelt and ending with Dubya..Perhaps 'Words that shook America' or even 'Words that shook me' would have been a more accurate title.
