Greatest War Speeches 1939–1945

This collection gathers Winston Churchill's wartime speeches from 1939 to 1945, beginning with his time as First Lord of the Admiralty and continuing through his years as prime minister to the end of the war with Japan. The addresses to Parliament, the public, and overseas audiences cover the fall of France, the Battle of Britain, alliance with the United States and the Soviet Union, campaigns in Africa and Europe, and the terms of victory. The pieces are oratory meant for a specific week of the war, not a memoir written afterward. The book is a documentary sequence of public argument under bombardment and coalition.

Bound in dark brown textured paper blocked and printed on cover with a picture of Churchill by Peter Strain. Plain slipcase.
