 During the 20th century, colonial empires battled to maintain control over their far-flung outposts. This deeply entrenched system of dominance over the world's economic resources and exploitation of the world's most vulnerable people was challenged by revolutionaries seeking the right to self-determination. Students will learn how Ho Chi Minh, inspired by the basic message of freedom and equality in the Western liberal tradition, spoke out strongly against the oppressive policies of the French and later, the Americans -- his speeches embodied a political activism that would make him a national hero and help lead his country to independence. Part of the multivolume Greatest Speeches of the 20th Century: Voices in Time Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online. |
| "...presents some of the most influential speeches of the 20th century...good overviews and insightful commentary..." - School Library Journal (March 2007) "Recommended." - Library Media Connection (Oct 2007)
