Please join Andrew Stuttaford and historian Daniel Pitt for a webinar on August 5 at 2 p.m. (Eastern) that will look at the rise of the postwar conservative movement across the Atlantic and of the significance, starting with Churchill’s “Iron Curtain” speech in 1945, of anti-communism in its construction.
Churchill (in his own way) was an embodiment of a kind of fusionism, and by ancestry (“My mother was American,” he once told Dwight Eisenhower, “and my ancestors were officers in Washington’s army, I am myself an English-speaking union” ) and thought, he was both an evangelist and embodiment of the Anglo-American tradition.
Daniel Pitt is an honorary research fellow at the University of Buckingham and is also a member of the Centre for British Politics at the University of Hull. He was a former graduate student of Sir Roger Scruton.
