    About this ebook

    "A Straight Deal or The Ancient Grudge" is a book about the relationship between the Germans, Americans, and Britons before and after WWI. The book consists of a series of polemics aiming at making Americans less hostile toward the British before and after the U.S. entered World War I on their side. The whole idea of the work started from the author's published opinion on the American-British reaction, which developed into a burning discussion.

      Our Politics Of Nostalgia Is A Sure Sign Of Present-day Decay

      Jun 26, 2021

      The belief that the past was better than the present, and the only way forward is back, can be found in the corners of any society at any time. But when nostalgia grows to dominate Britain and much of the west it is as sure a symptom of decay as the
