Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Volleys From a Non-Combatant
The English are Often slow; they rather pride themselves on their ability to muddle through: compared with the Germans, they make war like amateurs; but the plain historical fact is, that they have looked every would-be European conqueror for the last four hundred years squarely in the eyes, and have seen him go down before them.
