Description
A first edition, first printing of ‘Speeches 1947 & 1948 – Europe Unite’ published by Cassell in 1950. A very good book with a small dent to the corners of the first 50 pages. No inscriptions. In a very good unclipped wrapper with some spotting to the folds.
Winston Churchill’s *Europe Unite* speeches of 1947 were a series of addresses advocating for European unity to prevent future conflicts and rebuild the continent after World War II. Speaking in cities like Zurich and London, Churchill called for a “United States of Europe,” emphasising Franco-German reconciliation and economic co-operation. He urged European nations to form strong institutions, laying the groundwork for what would later become the European Union. While he envisioned Britain as a supportive partner rather than a full member, his speeches were instrumental in inspiring post-war European integration, including the formation of the Council of Europe in 1949.
