Review:
Impeccable. MacArthur prefaces each address with a short but scholarly historical explanation that sets the scene perfectly. An attractive volume with a splendidly pithy introducton (Andrew Roberts Sunday Times)
MacArthur wisely [concentrates] on certain political conflicts - gathering together the oratory of the American Civil War or the campaign for female suffrage. His book works well not just as an anthology but as a history of those episodes (Independent on Sunday)
A collection to stir the blood and lift the heart (Daily Mail)
