I'd suggest Winston Churchill's Blood, Sweat and Tears
speech. I think it really rallied the English to hang
on and survive the Nazis.
If you put Famous Speeches in the Amazon place two
books that sound perfect come up. They'd be wonderful
additions to the collection, in case we want more than
what's already in there.

Hi Christine,
This is perfect! I can use some of these. I have
to write a 2000 word essay on a famous individual
whose speech made a difference. Yeah, I really hate
writing these things. I have to use citations,
etc., etc. and I am not a happy camper. Thanks for
the help...I really appreciate it.
Hugs,
Maithe

Maithe,
I'm not sure if you're looking for books about
famous speeches or books of famous speeches. I found
four of the latter on Bookshare, and I've listed
them below. If you do a title search for "speech,"
you'll also find some books on Martin Luther King's
"I Have a Dream" speech, on the speeches of Mark
Twain, on some of Abraham Lincoln's most famous
speeches, and a few other subjects that may be
helpful.
The Words of Peace: Selections from the Speeches
of the Winners of the Nobel Peace Prize

My Fellow Americans: The Most Important Speeches
of America's Presidents, from George Washington to
George W. Bush

Revolution to the Civil War

Lincoln to Bill Clinton

Hope this helps.
