Sounds like about what I would expect of the book, actually...The argument about the Soviet Union is crap, though. Without Lend- Lease, Stalin would have fallen, leaving Eastern Europe to the Nazis. Also, Hitler was obsessed with the Versailles Treaty, and would have eventually turned on France, as Germany's traditional nemesis, and the ultimate source of the treaty. Wider revisionism, favorable to Nazi aspirations and racial theories, dictated establishing hegemony over Europe, uniting all German territories, and exploiting the Slavs. The German sense of having been shortchanged in the scramble for colonial possessions meant that ultimately, Britain would have to be brought under a Europe dominated by Germany. That would have left him facing off the United States, which, as a trading nation, could not afford a hostile international order....It is idle to point out that some people were mistaken in '40, and then to repeat their mistakes in '99....
