Peter Hitchens debunks the myths about Britain's role in `The Good War'

Recenzje

Hitchens is right to challenge the very idea of a "good war". The Second World War was a global cataclysm that killed about 60 million people and left millions more displaced and traumatized. He is also correct that public debate about international security would be vastly improved if politicians and pundits stopped appealing to the "lessons" of Hitler and appeasement to justify military action.
