People are trying to get the European Union going and some in Britain are quite opposed to it.<br /><br />Aside from that, Britain and Germany are allies and between them Europe's bankers. I think the question of what to do with Germany's past is still being resolved, and may be a politically sensitive matter he felt he had to tiptoe around.<br /><br />Still, as you say, if he's going to call himself a biographer he should biograph, not politic. Good review, good picking all that out of it, and good call.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-64169487364078480402014-10-30T22:54:44.133-06:002014-10-30T22:54:44.133-06:00I really appreciate you wading through this so I w...I really appreciate you wading through this so I will not have to.

I find it even more difficult to understand that it was not the first or last attempt at genocide. The US government tried to eradicate all of the Indians, there was Bosnia, and Rwanda...humans are capable of such evil.
