Críticas
The most interesting part of the book is the way Webber traces the seeds of ideas, the sources and connections as they are repeated through the years. Engaging.
Looks to reignite the debate on the meanings of freedom and liberty by telling the stories of speeches throughout American history that address these notions. Will interest those seeking an introduction to American oratorical history or the changing meaning of liberty in American history.
A thought-provoking foreword and intelligent epilogue bookend this examination of the stirring power of the spoken word.
Spirited. Webber provides instructive biographical information and to-the-point historical context.
A luminous portrait. Mr. Webber's vivid account resurrects this astonishing figure, conveying all that he endured and achieved during America's longest, most harrowing trial.--Praise for American to the Backbone
Pennington's story is a remarkable one, illuminated by Webber's meticulous research.
A richly detailed, wide-ranging biography. Webber has produced an important book as well as insight in to the pre-Civil War free-black subculture.
Reseña del editor
"Give me liberty," demanded Patrick Henry, "or give me death!" Henry's words continue to echo in American history and that quote, and the speech it comes from, remains one of the two or three known to almost every American. The other speeches that have become part of our American collective consciousness all have one theme in common: liberty. These feats of oration seem to trace the evolution of America's definition of liberty, and to whom it applies. But what exactly is liberty?Webber's insightful Give Me Liberty looks at these great speeches and provides the historical context, focusing attention on particular individuals who summed up the issues of their own day in words that have never been forgotten. Webber gleans lessons from the past centuries that will allow us to continue to strive for the ideals of liberty in the twenty-first century.
