evidence: This particular manuscript talks, well Churchill speaking to Parliament, about how to deal with the Americans without whom they can’t survive. He says "the attitude of the United States," here, he says, "nothing will stir them like fighting in England no good suggesting that we are down and out. The heroic struggle of Britain is the best chance of bringing them in." And he did. Of course, Japan helped. But by the time long before December the seventh, 1941, America was in the war in terms of arming Britain, and it made all the difference. So why do I show you this? It’s an incredibly rare volume. I draw moral strength just by holding it and imagining what it meant to hear these speeches, under the conditions of the worst months of the war, with Churchill trying to lead parliament and conditions of state secrecy, just how to understand these things.
