This anthology offers a historical survey of speeches that invoke racism, genocide, anti-Semitism, terrorism, and other hateful, extremist views. It includes Jefferson Davis' announcement of Southern secession, Hitler's proclamation of Germany's right to world domination, and Osama bin Laden's warning of another 9/11.
