The United States appears at times to be the rather passive object of competing Soviet and British maneuvers. The turning point came with the crisis of early , which here receives its fullest analysis to date, when the Truman administration in a systematic but carefully veiled and still widely misunderstood reorientation of policy in which Churchill figured prominently led the Soviet Union into the political confrontation that brought on the Cold War.

The Iron Curtain: Churchill, America, and the Origins of the Cold War by Fraser J. Harbutt
Despite this shortcoming , The Iron Curtain is commendable for its original analysis of the role of Winston Churchill in forging a new, anti-Soviet U. The Iron Curtains ten chapters cover the period from just before World War I, when Churchill first envisaged a grand Anglo-American entente, to the period just after World War II, when the world seemed once more on the brink of war- this time between the two newly emerged superpowers.
The first few chapters focus on the development of Churchill's fascination with the United States and his loathing for bolshevism.

His views led him to believe that only a union of the two dominant English-speaking nations could save the world from disaster. This plan initially fell on deaf ears in the United States, where isolationism was in vogue and there was fierce economic competition with Britain.
The Iron Curtain
Churchill employed diplomatic skills to try to convince Roosevelt that the alliance with Stalin should be temporary, thus leading to the so-called "war of nerves" between the USSR and Great Britain while the United States enjoyed cordial relations with both countries. The third and final section begins with Churchill's famous "Iron Curtain" speech in Fulton, Missouri, which, though at first poorly received, drew more and more adherents to Churchill's philosophy as Stalin made deeper advances into independent Iran.

Churchill was at last rewarded for his many years of trying to win the Americans over to his side. None of the information covered in The Iron Curtain is particularly insightful. Professer Harbutt, like most Western cold war scholars, blames it on the Soviets, citing their aggression and disregard for personal liberty.
