4.0
A collection of speeches that give a brief history lesson through sections dedicated to themes such as the US war of independence and civil war, women's rights and UK politics. Mainly monarchs and politicians, and some do go on a bit. A common thread - how much the word of God is invoked by all sides in any argument, to a worrying level.

From Moses to Mandela, from Pankhurst to Obama, we’ve had our fair share of powerful oratory. Thanks to @penguinukbooks, I’m adding two stunning volumes of speeches bound in classic Penguin style to my collection. I was seriously impressed how far back the Historic version went to cover a wide period.
