BRITS
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF THE WHITE MAN’S BURDEN
Churchill remembers the hard way
Chapter 53
nThis brilliant German strategy worked out pretty much the way it usually does,
2oResulting in millions of cold soldiers dying in the bloody snow,
3pWhich gave the Brits a lot of time to try to convince the Americans that being above it all doesn’t work with Germans.
4qBut Americans are slow learners,
5rAnd the Brits never convinced them of anything,
6sUntil the Japanese convinced them that being above it all doesn’t work with the Japanese,
7tWhich suggested the possibility that maybe the Brits were right about the Germans,
8uAnd thus brought America into the war.
