Full Description

This book focuses on a close analysis of selected speeches of Winston Churchill in the House of Commons and some of the responses from fellow MPs from 1933-1940 in peace and war, during the rise of Hitler, and concentrates on foreign affairs. The study will appeal to those interested in Churchill, freedom, tyranny, diplomacy, war and conflict, democracy, politics, the 1930s, the Second World War, Britain, the English-speaking world, Canada, the United States, the British Empire and Commonwealth, Europe, France, Asia, Germany, totalitarianism, Parliament and legislative assemblies, rhetoric, language, style, speech-writing, oral and written communication, literature, history and other areas. The debate between autocracy and the tyrannical totalitarian on the one hand and democracy on the other is the debate of those times and ours. The reader will find many parallels, some chilling, with our own times. Churchill and his contemporaries have much to teach us.Churchill was key to our world history and is a key to understanding what is at stake in the world now.
