5.0 out of 5 stars Humanitarian, April 7, 2000

Crystal J. Young (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Art of the Impossible: Politics As Morality in Practice Speeches and Writings, 1990-1996 (Paperback)

I found this book motivational and inspirational. The societywe live in today reflects the opinions and speeches of Mr. Havel. Iuse this book like a bible..He spoke many truths to our nation.His speech on "hate" was so true about the ideas and thoughts of the Human Race in this world...His tribute as a President to treat people with such dignity and honor..His speech in "Oslo" was refreshing and exhilirating..I applaud his humanitarism. One day I would love to meet and speak to him.
