“Just” or “unjust”, every war is a butchery. The winner is a good butcher. The loser is not as good a butcher. The winner can perhaps give the loser a lesson in butchery. He should not administer lessons of law, justice or virtue to him. Yet that is what the winners of 1945 did. In…
Gerald Fleming, emeritus reader in German at the University of Surrey (England) is, if I may say so, a KGB novelist. He is more a novelist than an historian.

Theory is not real life and pedantry is not real science. If you wish to know what the real dangers of HCN or any highly poisonous gas are, begin by checking what those dangers are in reality and not according to theories, speculations, extrapolations.
