Synopsis
The definitive collection of famous speeches by some of the most important figures in world history—newly repackaged In this superb companion volume to the acclaimed Penguin Book of Twentieth-Century Speeches , veteran journalist Brian MacArthur brings together the words of more than one hundred influential men and women who changed and inspired the world through the sheer power of their oratory. This newly updated edition includes the best speeches in history from notable modern political figures such as Winston Churchill, John F.

Helpfully broken out into categories such as Ancient Times (Moses, Jesus, Mohammed), The Birth of the United States (John Hancock, Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin), and Women’s Liberation (Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner Truth, Betty Freidan), this indispensable reference deserves a spot on the shelf of every student, armchair historian, and teacher.
