| Description: | Select Guide Rating A collection of thirty-three orations ranging over fifty years, demonstrating how Winston Churchill gradually honed his rhetoric. The most eloquent and expressive statesman of his time - phrases such as ''iron curtain'', ''business as usual'', ''the few'', and ''summit meeting'' passed quickly into everyday use - Winston Churchill used language as his most powerful weapon at a time when his most frequent complaint was that the armoury was otherwise empty. |
