Btw, the article's a very good summary of a history that needs re-telling. It's not anti-British to state how some British rulers kept sabotaging US efforts, even though such facts may seem unbelievable in such an important war. Dear Alice,

It may have been based on the movie Patton (george c scott) but it filled in some holes that the movie did not cover so I appreciated reading it This synopsis was good.
