"Now this is not the end.
It is not even the beginning of the end.
But it is, perhaps,
the end of the beginning."

Churchill delivered these famous words in a 1942 speech at London's Mansion House, just after the British routed Rommel's forces at Alamein, driving German troops out of Egypt. The battle marked a turning point in the war, leading Churchill to write in his memoirs, "Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat."
