Its a wonderful book. The length and breadth of speeches are obviously numerous. I gave it a 5 star rating due to it being the best book of its kind available to date. The only thing I didn't care for was the non-historical organization. To most, I assume, having them organized categorically is best, but to me... on a historical timeline would have been preferable. I would have liked to see how the time progressed in all the corners of the globe at once!
