“There is a good saying to the effect that when a new book appears one should read an old one. As as author I would not recommend too strict an adherence to this saying.”

Europe Unite: Speeches 1947 and 1948
This volume gathers speeches given by Winston Churchill in the years immediately following the Second World War, a period marked by economic hardship, political realignment, and the hardening of ideological boundaries between Soviet-dominated Eastern Europe and the Western democracies. The speeches reflect Churchill's sustained campaign to foster closer ties among European nations, including his support for what would eventually develop into pan-European institutions. The 1947 and 1948 addresses were delivered in various settings, including the Congress of Europe at The Hague in 1948, and they articulate a vision of continental solidarity intended to secure peace, promote economic recovery, and strengthen democratic governance. The collection captures a pivotal moment in twentieth-century political history, documenting the rhetorical foundations of the European integration movement during the incipient stages of the Cold War. more
