In this fascinating book, Chris Abbott, a leading political analyst, takes a close look at the ideas that have shaped modern society, and the power of those global beliefs to inspire people, for better or worse, to do great things.
Abbott draws upon his political expertise to explain how our current understanding of concepts such as good and evil, equality and confrontation, peace and war, has its roots in pivotal moments of history. Those moments are captured in the words of a range of influential figures from Emmeline Pankhurst, Dwight D Eisenhower and Ghandi, to Ronald Reagan, Tim Collins and Osama bin Laden.
As well as providing transcripts, 21 Speeches that Shaped Our World explores themes such as 'might is right', 'with us or against us' and 'give peace a chance'. Fresh and relevant, this is a book that will make you stop in your tracks and really hear what is going on in the world today.
