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.
