Interesting reading. Only had a chance to glance at it (mostly the "between the wars" section). The interesting thing is how many of his comments/criticisms are right on. There were many problems in that era, and he homes in on them strongly. On the other hand, it's the old "half empty" or "half full" thing. Yes, there were deep issues (still are for that matter), yet, on the other hand, there were many things that were greatly improved over what had been before, which he doesn't mention.

Interesting and not far off the mark, for the most part. They depicted the British as "British robbers who oppressed America and held her in colonial slavery" and played up the American forces as "barefoot farmers and artisans". Overall, an interesting read. <b><font color=gold>Ernie Sands BGen, 3rd East Kent,CCC President, Colonial Camp Club Col,1 Konig,VIII,AdR LtGen,CO XXIII Corps AoO Sch,183Inf,VIII,PzC Pvt B Co, 3/3-MBC </b></font id=gold> |

"Criminals were also brought over from England and forced to work for 7 to 10 years as slaves" I liked that line. Now how did they know the origins of the Tories?<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle> Maj. Bill Peters, Morgan's Rifles, American Army Commander of French Dept. |
