Words capture the battles, the crises, and the politics of a developing government. They are the living history of a country. In Words That Built a Nation, Marilyn Miller compiles thirty-nine representative texts from US history--from the Declaration of Independence to John F. Kennedy's Speech at the Berlin Wall--to map the past, present, and future of our county. It is now available for the first time in digital format, complete with commentary, photographs, and engravings.
