Or fight against (it/them) in unison


Explanation:



To fight against sb.,sth. is a literal translation but doesn't sound right without mentioning the oponent. If the oponent is not to be mentioned, I would drop the 'against'.

As a book title or even a phrase, it should be:
Oder kämpft gemeinsamen dagegen (gegen sie/ihn).

I can't find any literary reference; is it a new book?

Explanation:
Surely you must have an idea (at least) of what the book is about?

Ample context from the asker is both a valuable tool and a simple courtesy much appreciated by your would-be helpers: Both to help us invest our own time efficiently in your behalf -- as you are requesting -- and to give you the best answers possible, it makes good sense to include adequate context in your queries -- as a minimum:
(1) a definition of the general context (subject matter), plus
(2) ample specific context: the entire source sentence (or more -- excepting of course confidential/proprietary information, which can be disguised or omitted.)
(Other useful information may include for instance the target audience/country and the purpose of the translation.)

All the best, Tom.
