Abraham, this is so true. Churchill was nothing if not theatrical . In that uniquely desperate moment he spelt it out for the world what this struggle was all about and appealed for resistance from any quarter. Although he was galvanising a nation he was also addressing his other (real) audience – the United States. He was Horatio on the Bridge, Davy Crockett at the Alamo, Joan of Arc and (dare I say it ) the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dyke.
I still maintain that militarily he was living in cloud cuckoo land and simply got lucky – but Thank God.
