Boards are straight, tips are pointed, spine is square and page are clean. An excellent gift! The speeches contained in this volume were delivered in the years 1951 and 1952. This period was of exceptional political interest both at home and abroad. The General Election of 25 October 1951, which ended six years of Socialist rule and led to the formation of the new Conservative administration, stands out as a milestone in the post-war years. The year 1953 sees Mr. Churchill, at the age of seventy-seven, having out-lived all his political contemporaries. Rosebury, Balfour, Asquith, Lloyd George, Bonar Law, Birkenhead, the three Chamberlains, Baldwin, MacDonald, Bevin, Cripps, Mussolini, Hitler, Roosevelt, and now Stalin, have all been called to what we must hope is a better world. And he was still active, hoping to achieve his dearest wish, of making an effective contribution to the establishment of an honourable and enduring peace. Such hopes may be chimerical, but no one reading these pages objectively without concluding that he would regard this as the crown of his life's work.
