Title: In the balance
Description: "This collection of speeches covers the period 1949-1950, when Churchill was serving as Leader of the Opposition. Like Europe Unite, the volume was published as another general election loomed, an election which Churchill won, restoring his party to government and himself to Prime Minister. These speeches provide an insight into Churchill's analysis of a range of political topics, both domestic and foreign, including the devaluation of the pound, the outbreak of the Korean war and the foundation of NATO. Churchill warns of the Soviet threat and echoes the theme of his earlier publications: unity with Europe and unity with America is the only way to preserve the peace and safety of Western civilisation."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
