Jim,
Let me remind you of the summing up:

That is not Hastings summing up.
It is not a Hastings quote.
It is David Crane, who is no historian of WW1.

The historian reviewers, like Jones and Boot, are quite clear that the book rubbishes all your myths.
The review on Hastings' site, probably by Hastings, says the same.
I have given you actual quotes of Hastings rubbishing all your myths.

Hastings is not your saviour Jim.
Like all the others, he knows that your claims are worthless, debunked and discredited myths.

I agree with the historians.
You are arguing against the history books and the people who research and write them.
You have lost.
Continuing just makes you more and more ridiculous.

I suggest we leave it there unless and until you can find any support for your dogma from people who actually know about WW1.
