Churchill's history of the two branches of the
English-speaking nations, the British Empire and
the United States was begun during his 'Wilderness Years'
in the early 1930's, but not completed until after
his retirement from the political stage in the late 1950's.
The events of the Second World War, the major interruption
in the writing process, had reconfirmed his belief in the
'Special Relationship',
For the second time in the present century the British Empire
and the United States have stood together facing the perils of
war on the largest scale known among men, and since the
cannons ceased to fire and the bombs to burst we have become
more conscious of our common duty to the human race.
