Publishers Description: Great Speeches brings together the most powerful and stirring addresses delivered in the English language, capturing the significant historical events of the past four hundred years in the words of their participants. The selection includes a full range of inspiring speakers: kings and queens are featured next to presidents and prime ministers; great human rights leaders stand with great military leaders. There are speeches delivered at times of great hope, such as John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address, and others delivered at times of great sorrow, such as Robert Kennedy’s remarks on the death of Martin Luther King. Presented chronologically, each speech is preceded by a brief introduction. Great Speeches also includes an overall introduction and biographical sketches of each speaker.I
