Franklin D. Roosevelt, commonly known as FDR, served as the 32nd president of the United States. He was a compelling orator who inspired millions with his "fireside" radio speeches during the Great Depression of the 1930s and his wartime addresses to the nation in the 1940s.

Narration: clear, considering the age of the recording and technology available at the time.

Content: Good example of meaningfully crafted speech meeting few specific objectives. Nothing fancy here, just a straightforward presentation of facts and exhortation to Americans to ready themselves for a long, necessary fight against tyrannical regimes. Speech is also a good example of simple prose suitable for communicating with a population varying greatly in ability to understand complex ideas.

One of Roosevelt's best
