[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 5089, member: 4034"] [b]History.[/b] Further proof that history is written by the winners, afterwards. Wait 50 years and the truth seeps out. Although it hasn't yet about why Rudolph Hess's question to the first people he met after he crash-landed was "are you the King's men?". I wonder who he thought intended to meet him at Dungavel Castle. If he hadn't overshot it...... I commend "Fatal Choices" by Ian Kershaw.

But he is excellent on the US entry into WWII, and on why Japan decided to attack Pearl Harbour. OK, Perl Harbor. A book that I still enjoy is "1066 and all that" - all you remember about school history. Newton invented gravity when the apple shot by William Tell fell on his head.
