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.--From amazon.com.

'The Unnecessary War' shatters many popular myths about the war between right and wrong, Democrats and Fascists, rather stating that it was at some level a war of egos. The author dismisses the 'moral high ground' often attributed to the Allies, denouncing the whole WW2 as some pre-planned conception of Hitler's evil genius and stating that Hitler actually wanted to avoid war with the West at all costs.
P.J.B also scrutinizes the 'indispensable' role of Winston Churchill in winning the war for the Britain, stating that if Churchill is responsible for winning the war, he is also responsible for bringing down the British Empire. The Great Man with his ambivalent and aggressive personality proposed going to war rather enthusiastically at the expense of millions of civilians (and strategic wisdom).
The book is an excellent, knowledgeable, interesting and unbiased read and is recommended to anyone interested in history. ( )
