1

Read these excerpts from three of Churchill's most famous speeches. What are the themes that recur in these texts? Are they simply inspirational messages or do they convey any of the substantive issues of the conflict?
2

How does the substance of these speeches compare to FDR's "Four Freedoms" speech (http://www.libertynet.org/~edcivic/fdr.html)? What, if anything, can we learn about British and American society of this era from these documents?
