| Beware the Wild Winds |
ev ery now and a gain a whole flood of ww11 books turns up at the Family Store.
shocking memoires of bravery and stupidity and slaughter.
friend, foe, civilian they all got smashed.
Anyway the KIWIS were noted for their bravery and willingness to defend the empire.
Desmond Scott, Robert Spurdle etc the list was long.
The great economist Alfred Marshall noted how quickly cities were rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries after the devastation of a war but that does not take away the tragedy and emotional damage.
Similar in Aleppo. All the while the war drags on and all the while the local population are purged in what amounts to ethnic cleansing. just a by product I suppose.
