Winston Churchill's speech "Their Finest Hour"
June 18, 1940
Two months earlier, after Dunkirk, Churchill rallied the country with this defiant speech in the tone of Henry V: "Let us therefore brace ourselves to/ our duty, and so bear ourselves that/ if the British Empire . . . lasts for a/ thousand years, men will still say,/ ‘This was their finest hour.'" |
