I don't go in for "my historian is bigger than your historian" arguments

Jim, you have not found one single historian who still believes that shit you cling to.
Quote one now!
Give us a name!

I have carefully laid out my attitude to the war based on what I believe I have learned throughout my life

I say what is in the history books.
Where does your shit come from?

You have been given a list of acttual cock ups that cost many thousands of young lives

No. Not from WW1.

other than to claim that historians you haven't read said it was a well led,

I have quoted historians making exactly that point!
You can not quote a single one who believes different.

HE WELCOMED THE REVIEW WAS FAIR AND GENEROUS -

Yes, except the bit that he got totally wrong! "ON THE CONTRARY...."

I don't need less than half-a-dozen historians to make my argument, as you apparently do.

Let everyone read that statement from Jim.
He can not find one single historian to make his argument.
He acknowledges that I have found six quoted just on this thread endorsing my views.
On previous threads, many more.
I am just saying what the history books say.
Jim truly believes that his silly politics give him better knowledge.
Only a fool with a vastly inflated ego would imagine such nonsense.
