Greg, just on this thread you could have read Max Boot, Catriona Pennel, Margaret Macmillan, Max Hastings, Gary Sheffield, Dan Todman, and the OU History Faculty who provided the script for Paxman.
Many more on previous threads.

Guest, you do not become an historian just by saying stuff about history.
I have rejected no historian.

Unless and until one of you can find an historian who still believes that old shit you cling to, you have nothing.
