Description
A very good copy in an unclipped dust jacket.
In 1946, Winston Churchill, now out of office, traveled to Fulton, MO, to speak about the dangers of totalitarian Communism. The words of what we now know as the “Iron Curtain Speech” affected people from every sector of the population, from world leaders and policymakers to businesspeople and homemakers. White provides the backstory for the speech and places it within the context of Churchill’s view of Communism going back to the 1917 Russian Revolution.
