"The history of mankind is full of dramatic and important events, provoked by the great speeches of those who had played major roles in those events. From ancient times to the present day, oratory and statesmanship have had their importance.
The need for speechmaking is much in demand in every sphere of life, whether public or private. The leaders and lawmakers are those who can render a good speech.
This book has been compiled to satisfy the long-cherished desire of those who are learning the art of public speaking and also to enlighten and inspire the common reader. It will tell the readers those spoken thoughts which were the cause of progress, war, peace, and victory of the nations and its leaders. All these speeches are full of wisdom, vision, and facts.
This book covers the entire field of classical speeches from earliest times to our own stormy days -- virtually the only adequate book of the world's classic speeches in a single volume. From ancient Rome right through first and second world wars, it covers all the major speakers and their speeches, dealing with leadership, politics, war, democracy, party and press."
