From the publisher's website:
For almost every delivered speech, there exists an undelivered opposite.
These "second speeches" provide alternative histories of what could
have been if not for schedule changes, changes of heart, or momentous
turns of events.
In Undelivered, political speechwriter
Jeff Nussbaum presents the most notable speeches the public never heard,
from Dwight Eisenhower’s apology for a D-Day failure to Richard Nixon’s
refusal to resign the presidency, and even Hillary Clinton’s acceptance
for a 2016 victory—the latter never seen until now.
Examining
the content of these speeches and the context of the historic moments
that almost came to be, Nussbaum considers not only what they tell us
about the past, but also what they can inform us about our present.
