ABOUT THIS BOOK

‘The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what
they did here. it is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which
they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.’
Abraham Lincoln, known for leading the American Civil War, was a seasoned public speaker, leaving
a legacy that spans generations. Lincoln delivered one of the most quoted speeches in history on a
number of following occasions, enthralling his audience and setting the path for future generations.
His constant struggle against slavery was essentially captured in his speeches that have been passed

sheds light on a lot of issues pertinent to our contemporary global political scenario and enlightens
the reader on how to be wary of them while presenting a strong front.
