Dave,
Keith, did you really just describe AJP Taylor as discredited?

On the issues under discussion, there is no historian who accepts his views.
He is discredited by advances in historical knowledge.

Keith, what then is Macmillan's methodology for determining the views of the British people in 1914.

I am sure she knows her job Dave!
She is a historian and professor at the University of Oxford, where she is Warden of St Antony's College. She is former provost of Trinity College Oxford, and professor of history at the University of Toronto and previously at Ryerson University.
There is no greater authority on WW1 in the world.

All the other world authorities have independently reached the same conclusion.
I have quoted Sheffield, Boot, Pennel, Todman, Snow, Stevenson, Hastings, Brown, Paxman/OU, etc. (count Jim!)

Is it your claim that they are all completely deluded, and you are somehow above them all in your knowledge of this period?
