“American newspaper?”     “The Tribune, general.”     Dornberger”
James Follett, Return of the Eagles

“The rabbis told us not to fight back when the Arabs attacked our settlements,’ said Begin mildly. ‘Jews do not bear arms, they said. And we listened to them ... heeded them .... And we died in our thousands! ... We listened to the United Nations when they told us that the British would protect us ... and the British machine-gunned us on the beaches of our promised land .... And we died in our thousands! Now we are nearing the end of a decade in which we did not lift a hand to the most evil aggressor the world has ever known .... And we died in our millions!”
James Follett, Mirage

“Britain, the United States - the only other major manufacturing countries - operated a curious policy whereby they would sell arms only to those countries that didn’t actually need them or were unlikely to use them.”
James Follett, Mirage
