you must have ran out of arguments..
I might disagree with some of the
conclusions of a historian, not with the
facts he gathered.
Bungay is just a good novel writer, not a historian.
Holland draws his conclusions, I and other readers/historians etc.. draw same or different ones, it's all down to personal interpretation.
But ask what Holland thinks on other matters that are so dear to the Allied cause (strategic bombing and atomic bombing for example..) and see what it suggests.
One of the differences that I noticed among veterans and later generations, is that the former show respect and understanding for their enemies, cos they were fighting for a similar cause.
