Y'all yanks remember learning in school about the foreign policy of "appeasement" leading up to WWII? I do, and i remember being told it was because of "memories of WWI and not wanting war"

I'm starting to think that's bullshit. I bet it was the same shit we've got happening now, that big biz et al wanted fascism all along, and used whatever bullshit line like anti-war to let Hitler cook.

I'm guessing my 'epiphany' is old hat to the better read folks but what little i have learned? Makes that history "lesson" feel like a lie we're doomed to repeat

Yea pretty much, Blackshirts and Reds has a good summary of this behaviour. Great book, really easy to read and kinda hard to put down.
