Review: "Since the beginning of time, great leaders have used their power of oratory to win and inspire followers. The speeches of Mohammed, George Washington, Napoleon, Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, Emmeline Pankhurst, Winston Churchill, Adolf Hitler, Stalin, Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Shirley Chrisholm, Nelson Mandela and many others have motivated, illuminated, uplifted and sometimes terrified those who heard them. This book contains over 50 momentous and thought provoking speeches from a wide range of historical eras and nations, and will both inspire readers and give them a greater understanding of the events of the time." -- BOOK JACKET.
