b'Speeches have the power to educate, incite, and inspire. But for almost every delivered speech, there exists an undelivered opposite. These "second speeches" provide a tantalizing, sometimes terrifying window into what could have been if not for changes of heart or momentous turns of events.\\\\r\\\\n\\\\r\\\\nIn Undelivered: The Never-Heard Speeches that Would Have Rewritten History, Jeff Nussbaum presents the most notable speeches that were 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.\\\\r\\\\n\\\\r\\\\nJeff Nussbaum most recently served as a special assistant and senior speechwriter to President Biden. Prior to his role at the White House, Nussbaum was a partner at West Wing Writers, the premier strategy and speechwriting shop in DC.\\\\r\\\\n\\\\r\\\\nJoin us in-person at the City Club as we get a behind-the-scenes look at the power of speechwriting, and what these second speeches can tell us about the past, and also inform our present.'
