Description: "Mr Broderick's Army consists of six speeches given by Churchill to parliament, in which he opposes his own party's military reforms, as proposed by the Secretary of State for War, St. John Broderick. The plans to expand the permanent peacetime Army from two to three divisions ran counter to Churchill's economical instincts and parallels have been made with his father, Lord Randolph Churchill's 1886 parliamentary conflict over Army Estimates. These speeches demonstrate Churchill's developing oratorical skill and the growing divisions between himself and his party. Indeed he would not long remain a member of the Conservatives. Often seen as Churchill's first great oration, Mr Broderick's Army marks the beginning of his long and illustrious political career."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
