excepto 's review for:
The Phoney Victory: The World War II Illusion
by Peter Hitchens
An insightful view of the British experience of WWII.
At first the author goes in depth on the folly of when and how Britain joined the war, saying it had not been enough realpolitik and cynical about joining the war and the near collapse of Britain it brought about.
He then goes on to critise the bombing of German cities for little military purpose.
The main argument is quite good, but sometimes side comments are wacky such as:
- The moral weakness allowed by bombing civilians then permitted the failing of an abortion massacre?!
- The European union is a continuation of the German state...
He seems to criticise delusions of British imperial greatness but then seems to also critique European integration.
