Were World Wars I and II inevitable? Were they necessary wars? Or were they products of calamitous failures of judgment?

In this monumental and provocative history, Patrick Buchanan makes the case that, if not for the blunders of British statesmen–Winston Churchill first among them–the horrors of two world wars and the Holocaust might have been avoided and the British Empire might never have collapsed into ruins. Half a century of murderous oppression of scores of millions under the iron boot of Communist tyranny might never have happened, and Europe’s central role in world affairs might have been sustained for many generations.

Among the British and Churchillian errors were:
• The secret decision of a tiny cabal in the inner Cabinet in 1906 to take Britain straight to war against Germany, should she invade France
• The vengeful Treaty of Versailles that mutilated Germany, leaving her bitter, betrayed, and receptive to the appeal of Adolf Hitler
• Britain’s capitulation, at Churchill’s urging, to American pressure to sever the Anglo-Japanese alliance, insulting and isolating Japan, pushing her onto the path of militarism and conquest
• The greatest mistake in British history: the unsolicited war guarantee to Poland of March 1939, ensuring the Second World War [1]

Certain to create controversy and spirited argument, Churchill, Hitler, and “the Unnecessary War” is a grand and bold insight into the historic failures of judgment that ended centuries of European rule and guaranteed a future no one who lived in that vanished world could ever have envisioned.

[1] I disagree. The greatest British mistake was forgetting the United States of America is Great Britain's mortal enemy. Watch "Yanky Doodle Dandy" with James Cagney. Americans hate the British. Irish Americans think Queen Victoria created the potato famine to kill them. Cecil Rhodes made the same mistake as Churchill. He thought Great Britain could bring the United States back into the fold. Hitler and the Kaiser before him had a much more realistic plan.

Churchill's mother was an American. She promoted young Winston. Churchill's financial benefactors were Jewish stockbrokers in the City of London and Wall Street. The United States was the biggest market for Churchill's prose and ideas.

Churchill sold Britain down the river to the Americans, especially to Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt. They took Britain to the cleaners. Great Britain was destroyed by the Great War (WWI) and finished off by WW II. Great Britain won a Pyrrhic victory. Europe lost as much. It was an unmitigated disaster for everyone but the United States.

Great Britain's fortune all went to the USA. Then, when that was spent, American banks happily loaned that money back to the British with interest. Great Britain became the UK, a US poodle. After the War, Britain lost all its markets and most of its industries. The War of Independence was complete. Canadians buy nothing from them. The Germans, Israelis, and Japanese all did much better than Great Britain.

The British, lead to their doom by Winston S. Churchill, did it to themselves. All the upper classes have left is vainglorious conceit. George Washington would be proud if he can't see what the future holds.
