註釋

This collection of speeches by the Nobel Prize-winning Prime Minister presents the addresses he delivered abroad between 1949 and 1950.
 
After guiding his country through the darkest times of World War II, Winston Churchill was defeated in the General Election of 1945. But he once again become Prime Minister in 1951. This collection features Churchill’s speeches, addresses, and other public communications in his period between terms. Churchill’s speaking engagements during this time took him across Europe—including to Brussels, Strasbourg, Copenhagen, and elsewhere—and across the Atlantic to the United States where he spoke in Boston and New York.
 
Major events during this period of history include the beginning of the Korean War, the devaluation of the British Pound Sterling, the creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and the United States’ rearmament program. Through these turbulent times, Churchill preached unity among European nations and English-speaking peoples worldwide.
