I have issue with niall. He makes an engaging argument, but a good number of times they fail to hold water.
The big one for me was the assertion that Britain could have avoided WWI if they had not declared war on germany.
THis is a shame because he is an engaging author and presenter, its just I'm never sure if he's peddling dogshit, or something that is plausible.
Solid author, genuine attempt objective history, the causes, the justifications, the sins, the benefits.
