“I have experienced the intensity of patriotism as a submarine officer, the ambitions of a competitive businessman, and the intensity of political debate. I have been sorely tempted to launch a military attack on foreigners, and have felt the frustration of having to negotiate with allies or even former enemies to reach a consensus instead of taking more decisive unilateral action.” Has BeensActionPoliticalFeltEnemyMilitaryAmbitionDebateFormerFrustrationAlliesIntensityOfficersBusinessmanTemptedConsensusForeignersSubmarinesPolitical Debates Book:The Jimmy Carter Library Source: The Jimmy Carter Library
“In the old days it would have been a relatively simple matter to have checked Hitler's territorial ambitions. All you'd have needed would have been the 1914 combination of Britain, France and Russia. Indeed, if such an alliance had acted decisively to defend Czechoslovakia in 1938, Hitler might even have been overthrown by his own military. But it was not to be.” IfsHas BeensMatterMightSimpleHistoryMilitaryNeededAmbitionRussiaFranceCombinationBritainAlliancesOld DaysTerritorialCzechoslovakia Author:Niall Ferguson
