Voices of History: Speeches that Changed the World by Simon Sebag Montefiore

informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This book made me cry several times, so I can't say it was easy to read. But I read it smoothly and quickly. It was very easy to stop and pick up again, and I liked the way the speeches were organized. There was a few speeches by people I'd never heard of, and speeches by very well known people.  I have added books to my TBR about a few of these people, and events. Some of the speeches I knew of, but was too young when they were spoken to recall them. The 9/11 speech was very impactful to me. I was two years old when that happened, and although I learned about it in school, even having a distinct memory of teachers watching the news about it on VHS when I was a child. I'd never read that speech. I think it's one worth reading. In fact there was not one speech I didn't gain something from. 
 I very much recommend this book.
