I loved this collection. It provides a mosaic of stories and testimonies of people all united by common aspirations for a better world, even as they are not united by a common ideology. I’m impressed by the work of the translators as well. Some editorial issues which didn’t appear to be errors from the original speeches did pop up from time to time. Would highly recommend.
