FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text Message
Your journey into the heart of Sir Winston Churchill's iconic Iron Curtain Speech begins here. Prepare to immerse yourself as I reflect on a childhood wonderment with Churchill that led me on a memorable journey to Fulton, Missouri, to experience the echoes of his speech and the museum dedicated to its lasting impact.
This episode is an exploration of the "The Iron Curtain Speech", delivered in March 1946, and the fact it was more than just a call for peace, it was a stark warning about the encroaching influence of Soviet rule and its devastating impact on individual liberty within those countries in the Soviet sphere.
Our guide for this journey is the author Phillip White and his excellent time treasure of a book, Our Supreme Task: How Winston Churchill's Iron Curtain Speech Defined the Cold War Alliance
Key Points from the Episode:
- We scrutinize the terrifying realities of Soviet rule, including the purges and famines that claimed millions of lives, and how these truths fueled Churchill's fight for freedom.
- We also delve into the current US political landscape and how Churchill's wisdom might shed light on the challenges we face today.
- Be ready to uncover nuggets of wisdom from one of the greatest statesmen whose timeless words continue to echo in the chambers of global politics.
- Is an Iron Curtain falling on the United States in 2023?
