On this episode of Our American Stories, eight months after British voters turned Winston Churchill out of office, the former prime minister received an unlikely invitation from Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri. A handwritten note from President Harry Truman offering to introduce him helped seal the deal, and on March 5, 1946, Churchill arrived in America’s heartland as a private citizen with a warning about the world taking shape after World War II.
Dr. Larry P. Arnn, president of Hillsdale College and a leading Churchill scholar, shares the story behind Churchill's all-important Sinews of Peace speech.
