Max Ehrlich is a professor of modern history at the university of east anglia. He's best known for his revisionist interpretation of british foreign policy in the mid twentieth century. Mr Ehrlich: The idea that germany would have won, after a six weeks war, which is about what it would have taken, they would have enacted the kind of peace they put in place in 19 18 gain is simply counter factual imagination placing the thing at its worst. We are not talking about this military domination that max imagines. If he doesn't imagine that, he has to admit the plain fact of the matter, that the war was not worth fighting at all.
