ISBN:  1473640946 9781473640948 (hbk.) : Description:  246 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  Throughout history, great speeches have produced great change. From inciting violence and asserting control to restoring peace and securing freedom, nothing has the raw emotional power of a speech delivered at the right moment, in the right place, with the right content, and the right delivery. 50 Speeches That Made The Modern World is a celebration of the most influential and thought-provoking speeches that have shaped the world we live in. With comprehensive, chronological coverage of speeches from the 20th and 21st centuries, taken from all corners of the globe, it covers Emmeline Pankhurst's patiently reasoned condemnation of men's failure to improve ordinary women's lives in 1908 through speeches by Lenin, Ghandi, David Ben-Gurion, Albert Einstein, Fidel Castro, Nikita Khrushchev, Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela, Benazir Bhutto, Osama Bin Laden and Aung San Suu Kyi, right up to the most compelling oratory surrounding the 2016 US Presidential elections. Through the rallying propaganda speeches during World War II to the cautious rhetoric of the Cold War period, through challenging the status quo on issues of race, gender and politics to public addresses to the masses on the issues of AIDS and terrorism, through apologies, complaints, warmongering, scaremongering and passionate pleas, this book delivers the most important speeches of the modern era and why they still remain so significant. Each speech has an introduction explaining its setting, importance and impact as well as marginal notes filling in any background information.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 815.08 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 815.08 Fifty Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 815.08 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 815.08 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 815.08 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 815.08 Fi Checked out 05/17/2024 Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 815.08 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 815.08 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 815.08 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 815.08 Fif Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
