Good idea but it gets worse...i noticed the author...Pat Buchanan...a very right wing politician from the USA....and is a muddled work and bears no understanding of the needs of Britain's self interest and as a super power both in 1914 and 1939...could not stand asise and be neutral....Niall Ferguson [a noted historian...also right wing] in The Pity of war [ww1] advocated British neutrality.....both are using hindsight...not forsight and inter-war years were confusing for Britain who were a weakened power but still very important in world diplomacy....My guess is that Buchanan will object to the fact that that WW2 led to the USSR becoming a super power....Buchanan was an advisor to Nixon and Reagan!
