Manifest Destinies
The Economist - on the office of the presidency, from Polk to Obama, 1845-2008
To mark the forthcoming inauguration of Barack Obama, a very special audio compilation of historic articles on the inaugurations of those who preceded him, from James Polk to George W.Bush, as well as momentous highlights from Barack Obama's election.
The collection is packed with history and drama: America teetering on the brink of Civil War as Lincoln took office; Hoover telling the American people they were "nearer to the final triumph over poverty", shortly before the US plunged into Depression; four assassinations, three deaths from natural causes, and one resignation - Nixon's, to avoid impeachment after the Watergate scandal.
Read by some of British radio's most memorable and authoritative voices, including Peter Donaldson and John Waite, this is a unique opportunity to celebrate the Presidential Inauguration in audio.
