Riassunto

Prefaced by brief historical and biographical introductions, the examples in this book show how words can be used to inspire, to comfort, or to move even the most seemingly hard-bitten of listeners. Spanning over two millennia and with speeches from across the globe, We Shall Fight on the Beaches is a book to inspire and inflame the reader.
