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'
• Malala Yousafzai - 'They thought that the bullets would silence us'
• Greta Thunberg - 'You have stolen my dreams and my childhood'
This inspiring compendium is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in how words can shape history.
