Was Churchill's 'Iron Curtain Speech' exaggerated? (and book request)

by Churchilly

I am writing a paper on Winston Churchill's 'Iron Curtain Speech' and whether or not it was exaggerated. I was wondering what your views/opinions on this matter are, and whether anyone could recommend good books to read regarding this question. Thanks!

Since this is a homework question, we expect a little more effort from you. What research have you done so far for your paper? What are your findings so far? Is there anything specific you have a question about?

This is FRUS, a collection of American diplomatic correspondence and analysis from the period. The volumes regarding Britain, the USSR, and Eastern Europe for the years of 1945 through 1948 will be helpful if you wish to get a feel for the view on the ground and from above in those years.

Churchill was right. He was considered an alarmist by the same sorts of fools who had considered him an alarmist ten years before. If I find British diplomatic correspondence, I will return with another comment.
