Abstract

This article examines Prime Minister Winston Churchill's
role in creating a sense of national solidarity in wartime Britain
and establishing an Anglocentric interpretation of World War II
through his wartime speeches and publications. Churchill's
speeches and addresses during 1940 as well as his memoirs
released after the war were heard and read by an international
audience. The personal and historical aspect of Churchill's The
Second World War series is examined as well as its impact on his
reelection as Prime Minister of Great Britain. Set in the
background of war and its recovery, the author provides an
analysis of Churchill's speeches and writings and their impact on
the British public. It is divided into two sections examining
Churchill's impact as an orator and Churchill as a historian.
