By careful analysis of the events leading up to Munich, the author convincingly demonstrates that the Munich analogy has been consistently misused as an argument for war during the years following WWII\u00a0 up to the present time.\u00a0 I am gratified to see a military historian, in the employ of the United States military, present a thorough and scholarly response to the question that I am asked so frequently as the \u201ccloser\u201d argument in my discussions with those who are pro-war. \u201cWell, what would you have done at Munich?\u201d As this author points out, this is totally irrelevant to any situation that we have encountered since that time.\u00a0 I am SO tired of trying to explain this to those who are ignorant of history and do not want to learn any from me. Now I can direct them to this 60 page monograph (with references) and save my breath. They may choose not to read\u00a0 it, but then, neither would they choose to listen to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
