Winston Churchill and the Sinews of Peace Address
THE SINEWS OF PEACE
March 5, 1946
Westminster College, Fulton, Missouri
This speech may be regarded as the most important Churchill delivered as Leader of the Opposition (1945-1951). It contains certain phrases "the special relationship," "the sinews of peace"-which at once entered into general use, and which have survived. But it is the passage on "the iron curtain" which attracted immediate international attention, and had incalculable impact upon public opinion in the United States and in Western Europe. Russian historians date the beginning of the Cold War from this speech. In its phraseology, in its intricate drawing together of several themes to an electrifying climax - his speech may be regarded as a technical classic.
The President of Westminster College spoke first and then introduced President Harry S Truman. Truman introduced Churchill. The text of the speech follows. Churchill ad-libbed at times, so the words Churchill delivered will depart occasionally
