Description: "This collection of Churchill's speeches from October 1945 to the end of 1946 is named after his address at Fulton, Missouri, better known as the Iron Curtain speech. In this speech, and in the volume more widely, Churchill called for a continuation of the cooperation between English-speaking peoples, which had been established in wartime, and for European unity, calling for a partnership between European powers, Germany included. On these issues Churchill demonstrated his moral leadership and political instinct in recognising that America would be instrumental in maintaining a stable balance of power in the postwar world. Indeed both themes of this book were realised in the foundation of NATO and, eventually, the European Economic Community."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
