A reproduction of a lecture given by Gerald R. Ford, 38th American president, at the English Speaking Union (an educational charity dedicated to public speaking) based in London on November 30th, 1983 for their annual Churchill Lecture and bestowment of a medal of honor.

Ford took his brief to heart and made continual references to Churchill throughout his speech.
