This book contains moving speeches that have great emotional impact, words that have changed the course of history such as Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream,” Winston Churchill’s “Iron Curtain,” Pope John XXIII’s “Caress,” and Barack Obama’s “A New Beginning.” It has been updated to include Ursula von der Leyen’s State of the Union Address to the European Union about the conflict in Ukraine. Speeches That Changed Our Times features the words of not only statespeople, but also scientists, literary figures, entrepreneurs, and courageous girls like Malala Yousafzai, who asks that new generations be guaranteed the right to education.
