About this book
The speeches in this book changed history. Sometimes they did so straightforwardly, for instance by setting in train a change of mind among the audience, as
Wilberforce began to do over the slave trade. But sometimes it was by changing the way posterity has viewed a decision already taken, as
Socrates did at his trial even though he was condemned to death.
Include speeches by eminent personalities like,
Alexander the Great,
Marc
Antony,
George
Washington, Napolean,
Martin
Luther
King,
Nelson
Mandela and others.
