Voices of history : speeches that changed the world
(Book)

"Originally published in hardcover in Great Britain, in slightly different form, by Weidenfeld & Nicolson, an imprint of The Orion Publishing Group Ltd., London, 2020"--Title page verso.

"All human drama is here: from the carnage of battlefields to the theatre of courtrooms, from table talk to audiences of millions, from desperate last stands to orations of triumph, from noble calls for liberation to genocidal rants, from foolish delusions and strange confessions to defiant resistance and heartbreaking farewells. Voices of History spans centuries, continents, and cultures. In the accessible and gripping style of a master storyteller, Montefiore shows why these seventy speeches are essential reading and how they enlighten our past, enrich our present, and inspire--as well as hold warnings for--our future"--,Provided by publisher.
