Good point, Bill H. I did go in there stomping with size 12 boots. My only concern was the reputation of the British Army. It was a conscript army (consisting of one Private Williams, my father) who risked everything to bring about the downfall of one of most monstrous regimes in history. It was indeed one of our finest moments. I didnt think Leon Uris has considered that and I thought he should have done. I also think that Britain had a difficult job in Palastine. What was the right thing to do? Just because the Jewish lobby in America was/is powerful doesn't make the Zioist cause right - or wrong. Of course, I realise it is more complex than that and I am not trying to protray the British, or their army, as goody two shoes.
