What was World War One about? How did it start? Who won? And what did
they win? Now, 100 years after those final shots rang out, these
questions still puzzle historians and laymen alike. But as we shall see,
this confusion is not a happenstance of history but the wool that has
been pulled over our eyes to stop us from seeing what WWI really was.

I’m outraged… outraged, I say. In the last couple of days, I have been
bombarded with nonsense in books, on the Internet and on television.
Just when I think we have heard the last of some of the nonsense out

half-baked, ignorant theory. Let’s start with the book. I had ordered,

I have complained in the past that I am becoming less than thrilled

or an inability to recognize the mundane, there are those who will argue
the point forever. A recent post was partially
