Which you haven't read - and you are still ignoring what she actually said -
What she actually said,
"myths have built up that suggest ordinary British and Irish people backed the war because they were deluded, brainwashed and naïvely duped into supporting the conflict. My research shows that this was simply not the case."
By the way, nobody on here has not accepted the findings of a single historian.
Yes they have, including you.
The historians agree that British people believed the war to be a necessary evil, and all but one agree that they were right about that.

Huh??
And are you ever going to give us any evidence of my having said that I know more about anything than anyone on here?
Do I need to?
My views are just those of the historians, and you have been challenging me over them for years now.
Earlier you asked
So, most people knew they were doing what had to be done did they? What if they were lied to? As described above. Were they doing what they knew had to be done or doing what they were told had to be done?
You had just been shown that the historians said that their views were not influenced by lies and propaganda, but were carefully thought and sensible. You clearly rejected all that. You must have believed you knew better.
