Winston Churchill and the Power of Prose

American broadcaster Edward R. Murrow once quipped that Winston Churchill “Mobilized the English language and sent it into battle.” Churchill’s mastery of the English language informed and inspired Britain during the Second World War. His speeches and writings played an important role in the Allied victory during the war and throughout his long and storied career. Discover how Churchill used the power of prose to win the war and preserve the peace.

This program is offered as part of “Churchill 2024,” a global commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Winston Churchill’ s birth.
