This classic hardback collection brings together over 40 of the most powerful and stirring speeches delivered in history, from rousing battle speeches to impassioned political addresses.
Since the time of the ancient Greeks, oratory has been a great force in shaping historical events. This anthology collects such moments of the past 400 years in the words of their participants, from speeches given in times of war and sorrow, such as Winston Churchill's 'This Was Their Finest Hour', to those delivered in moments of hope, such as Barack Obama's election victory address. Other speeches include:
• Susan B. Anthony - 'On a Woman's Right to Vote'
• John F. Kennedy - 'Ich bin ein Berliner'
• Martin Luther King, Jr. - 'I've Been to the Mountain Top'
• Nelson Mandela - 'Inaugural Address'
