Frenemies: Churchill and The Soviet Union

Abstract

A study of Churchill will uncover a careful balance between realism and liberalism in his views on international relations, and his internal conflict between the two. While he understood the struggle for power, every hope of his was underpinned by his faith in humanity. He didn't fault people, he only found faults in the few foul men that led them. His life was dedicated to Britain, democracy, and freedom, and he never gave up on any of them. [From Conclusion]
