Can we please stay off the rather slippy ground pertaining to someone’s circumstances and character, as has been highlighted above? If forumites can show restraint, then there should be no need to lock a thread. But we are watching.
Crushing pressure from events and opinion conspiring against him. I can see how a person and nation can change its opinion given enough time.
The WaW series seems to indicate FDR was following a strategy that bit by bit would generate events by themselves such that opinion could only get behind the War. If you recall the “history records who fired the first shot” speech.
TT – I’m supposed to be doing an instructor course but weather and health are conspiring against progress so am stuck at home feeling ick. I’ve downloaded the entire series of the World at War and whilst making my way through it two pieces of disparate information I knew about Linbergh collided. 🙂
BBC1 just showed the 2002 version of the Count of Monte Cristo. Never seen the film or read the book before. I had seen bits of the Richard Chamberlain version but that’s a bit 70s and found it boring at the time. However I thought the 2002 was quite good, character driven plots and period drama with the odd bit of comedy thrown in. Plus Dagmara Dominczyk is blimmin gorgeous and only a few months older than me. 🙂
