PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUES
in a political speech
Extract from "Blood. Tad, Tears & Sweat"
"We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us
many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is
our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our
might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against
a monstrous tyranny, never
surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue
of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can
answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all
terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without
victory, there is no survival. Let that be realized; no survival for the
British Empire, no survival for all that the British Empire has stood for,
no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move
forward towards its goal. But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I
feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. At this
time I feel entitled to claim the aid of all, and I say, 'Come then, let us go
forward together with our united strength."
