Book Description

On March 22, 1775, the British Parliament was in turmoil over how to deal with the growing unrest in the American colonies. In this historic speech, renowned statesman Edmund Burke argued passionately for a policy of conciliation, urging his fellow legislators to seek a peaceful resolution to the crisis. His eloquent words are a testament to the power of reason and diplomacy, and his insights are as relevant today as they were over 200 years ago.
