Anyway, I don't know whether the authors' stories dissolve (as I understand them) my sense of what WW2 was about as much as add to it.
Jim Devine ------------ Well, I agree of course. But the addition was pretty stunning (for me), because it revealed that direct democracy, as in shared consent in struggle which was about all most of these undergrounds understood of communism, was the real enemy of the Allies. I guess I didn't realize the whole British military was run by the aristocracy. Many of the US commanders and upper ranks came from wealthy or well off families. Davidson spells it out pretty clearly. So, I finally saw it, distinguish it ... hidden in plain sight. The Allied command was just a branch of the capitalist class. C.W. Mills sort of indicates that since he spends a fair amount of paper on the military in The Power Elite. If you have the time, these are worth reading because they shed a lot of light on current revolts and struggles. BTW these books are very fast reading, because they read like adventure stories. I read them all in about a week and a half. CG _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
