Rag,
I have read Marc Ferro's book from cover to cover,

Please tell us what it says about the Lavantie truce 1915 then Rag.

and Gary Mead's book cover to cover,

That is the one titled "The GOOD SOLDIER" but you have only produced negative quotes from it.
You are being dishonest about it.

The quote I provided from Montgomery came from Gary Meads book The Good Soldier, do you really expect me to type out the entire book?

No, but I would expect a balanced view of the work. You have exclusively quoted only the negative.

Try going down to your local library and borrowing the book yourself, if they don't have I am sure they will source it for you.
The library will have a copy for me in the next day or two.
Then we will see Rag,

Dave,
The minor point being that peace could have been negotiated on at least two occasions with goodwill from the rulers on all sides. And that had they done so, millions of lives could have been saved. Very minor point according to you.

It was never part of the argument. You raised it.
I have said that peace could have been negotiated at least twice,
Can you find a single historian who agrees?
No.
