The Postwar Speeches. London: Cassell and Co.,1948-1962

5 volumes, 8vo. Each volume in unclipped dust jacket.

FIRST ENGLISH EDITION SET, COMPLETE IN FIVE VOLUMES

The five postwar speech compilation volumes were published beginning with The Sinews Of Peace in 1948 (late-1945-1946 speeches, including the legendary Fulton, Missouri "Iron Curtain" speech). Europe Unite in 1950 (1947-1948); In the Balance in 1951 (1949-1950); Stemming the Tide in 1953 (1951-1952); and The Unwritten Alliance in 1961, the final collection of Churchill speeches, covering the years 1953-1959. This book appeared in England only, and is perhaps the rarest of the postwar speech volumes.
