Its horrid - I've been there - but it's not the end of the world.

“As historians, we have to remind ourselves that yesterday was once tomorrow.”
Roger Moorhouse

“Indeed, it occasionally seems as if the book has attempted to inoculate itself against the prospect of actually being read.”
Roger Moorhouse

“I shall give a propagandist reason for starting the war, no matter whether it is plausible or not. The victor will not be asked afterwards whether he told the truth.”
Roger Moorhouse, Poland 1939: The Outbreak of World War II
