…etched in History. This was the definition of a Moral War between the Good side and the Evil side.
Time has been unable to dilute anything from what he has said

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.
