excerpt from the point of departure:
a war without victory
the people of england have been led in mesopotamia into a trap from which it will be hard to escape with dignity and honour. they have been tricked into it by a steady withholding of information. the baghdad communiques are belated, insincere, incomplete. things have been far worse than we have been told, our administration more bloody and inefficient than the public knows... there has been a deplorable contrast between our profession and our practice.
T E Lawrence, letter to the sunday times, 1920
'nuff said.
