Voices of History: Speeches that Changed the World by Simon Sebag Montefiore
4.0
This collection provides examples of the power of words for good and for evil. It was wonderful to 'hear'
the dignity and passion of Martin Luther-King, Barak Obama and Abraham Lincoln
the battlefield motivation of Tim Collins
the courage of Socrates, Anwar al-Sadat and Yitzhak Rabin
the defiance of Churchill
the eloquent sadness of Elie Wiesel
the sober voices of Oppenheimer and Greta Thunberg
It was also deeply disturbing to 'hear'
the ruthless hatred of Hitler, Stalin and Genghis Khan
the demented rantings of Nero.
I have been reminded of our capacity for evil but I have read some of these with tears in my eyes when nobility, dignity and quiet courage have shone through.
