The Penguin Book of Historic Speeches by Brian Macarthur
Brings together the words of many men and women who changed the world through the sheer power of their oratory. Gladstone and Disraeli, and Pitt and Fox before them, forged the politics of their age through verbal combat in the House of Commons. Abraham Lincoln transformed the way Americans interpret the Civil War and their national destiny.
