"........... whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender ..................."by Winston Churchill (June 4, 1940)
Following the successful evacuation of British and French forces from Dunkirk, England's peril became clear to everyone. Churchill delivered this speech to the House of Commons on June 4th, 1940, in part to temper the optimism that the evacuation had engendered (he knew how much work was still to be done), and partly to make a clear and public appeal to the U.S. The final paragraph of this speech is frequently quoted, but it's interesting to read the entire thing.
