Jim,
"You can only be right if all the history books are wrong. Is that your claim?"
Sighhhhh again - you haven't read all the history books - I strongly doubt if you have read any

I have read the books Jim, and quoted you the historians.
Do you claim they are wrong and you right?

You can not claim to have read anything recent that agrees with you because nothing does.

Justify your claim that all historians agree with you - you have given less than six and you haven't read them

I listed about eight just yesterday that I have quoted.
You have failed to find any!

Do you disagree that it was a wart of attrition

Yes.

based on forcing/tricking/persuading young men to go to their deaths?

No. They were not tricked or duped.
That is what Macmillan, Pennel and the others told you.
Are you saying they are all wrong but you are right?
