Summary

Throughout the 20th century, charismatic world leaders unsed the power of speech to communicate difficult truths, galvanize citizens to fight for independence, and to unite nations to defeat foreign enemies. In his compelling inaugural speech, President John F. Kennedy gave voice to the inspired realism that would be the spirit of his administration and articulated the democratic spirit of a new generation of Americans. President Kennedy's mastery of the spoken word enabled him to guide the United States through an era of mutual distrust and suspicion with the Soviet Union, and helped avert a potentially catastrophic nuclear confrontation
