Requests:  0 Summary:  In this exuberant collection, acclaimed historian Simon Sebag Montefiore takes us on a journey from ancient times to the twenty-first century. Some speeches are heroic and inspiring; some diabolical and atrocious. Some are exquisite and poignant; others cruel and chilling. The speakers themselves vary from empresses and conquerors to rock stars, novelists and sportsmen, dreamers and killers, from Churchill and Elizabeth I to Stalin and Genghis Khan, and from Michelle Obama and Cleopatra to Ronald Reagan, Nehru, and Muhammad Ali. All human drama is here: from the carnage of battlefields to the theatre of courtrooms, from table talk to audiences of millions, from desperate last stands to orations of triumph, from noble calls for liberation to genocidal rants, from foolish delusions and strange confessions to defiant resistance and heartbreaking farewells. Voices of History spans centuries, continents, and cultures. In the accessible and gripping style of a master storyteller, Montefiore shows why these seventy speeches are essential reading and how they enlighten our past, enrich our present, and inspire-as well as hold warnings for-our future.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 808.85 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.85 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.85 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.85 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.85 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList
