The first volume of post war speeches was entitled THE SINEWS OF PEACE, and printed speeches made in late 1945 and 1946. The title is that of the famous Iron Curtain speech. The first edition of 10,000 copies by Cassell was published 1948. There were no later printings of this or any of the other post war speeches. Sized to match the war speeches, the book was bound in an orange brown cloth, with a predominantly black dustwrapper. Printed on better paper than the war speeches, this book ages well and has reasonable supply. The American edition was published by Houghton Mifflin in 1949, but only 3000 copies. Binding is pale blue stamped in dark blue, with a blue/green dustwrapper. For such a small print run, this edition is probably underpriced at present.
