Subject book was first published in 2009. It's an excellent read I highly recommend it to all users of this forum.
The title is taken from a Winston Churchill speech, an extract from which is printed on the flyleaf of the book.
I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone.
Winston Churchill, House of Commons, 4 June 1940
It was a part of his famous "We shall fight them on the beaches.. " speech, delivered on the day that the Dunkirk evacuation, (Operation Dynamo) was ended.
One may reasonably presume that Oleg has based the title of this series on the same source as Andrew Roberts i.e. that speech and, since he has been using it widely and publicly long before the copyright date of the book, has a pre-eminent claim to it.
No worries!
