From calls to arms to demands for peace, and from cries of freedom
to words of inspiration, this stirring anthology captures the
voices of prophets and politicians, rebels and tyrants, soldiers
and statesman, placing them in historical context. With over a
million copies already sold, this completely revised and updated
pocket edition includes speeches by those that have truly shaped
the modern world: from Greta Thunberg to Donald Trump, and from
Nadia Murad to Oprah Winfrey. A biography of each speaker reveals
how they came to stand at the crossroads of history, and each
speech is accompanied by an introduction explaining its historical
context and how it influenced the momentous events of the day - as
well as those that followed. By turns moving and thought-provoking,
this new edition reveals a modern world in which freedom of speech
remains a powerful agent of change - and gives unique perspectives
on key turning points in history. Contents include: Nelson Mandela,
Barack Obama, Martin Luther King, Jr, Queen Elizabeth I, Oliver
Cromwell, George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, Abraham Lincoln,
Emmeline Pankhurst, Mohandas K. Gandhi, Adolf Hitler, Joseph
Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Charles de Gaulle, George S. Patton,
Jr, Malcolm X, Vaclav Havel, Mikhail Gorbachev, Indira Gandhi and
Winston Churchill to name a few.
