Author Description

"The Unwritten Alliance, a collection of speeches from 1953-1959, was the last of Churchill's books to be published before his death. The title refers to the relationship between Britain and America, which, though informal, Churchill believed to be close and enduring, based on shared culture and common interests. The Anglo-American accord forms the basis of several orations in this collection, alongside a wide range of topics and occasions, including his last political speech and his speech at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth I. The volume is a testament to Churchill's vigour and achievements, both in his later years and throughout his life."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
