Jeff, the ...Thank you all for your kind responses. Jeff, the histories do not tell us that the Stewarts went out shortly afterwards and started buying up Vermeers, but then again, they are Scots! Lil, the "Brits-at-fault" theory really picked up traction during the Falklands War, which may have had something to do with enhancing their bad-guy creds vis-a-vis the inhabitants of La Plata. On the other hand, the English have a dicey reputation as overlords under any circumstances. Stan, you put me in such a conflicted position. Nothing would make me happier than to know you are enjoying the book, but interfering with the next Kubu? Perish the thought! Yrsa, If you enjoy my book 1/3 as much as I enjoyed "Ashes to Dust" I will be thrilled.Annamaria Alfierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311596277267789834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-90262142601961947212012-07-23T18:54:22.634-04:002012-07-23T18:54:22.634-04:00I for one also look forwrd to reading it - thank y...I for one also look forwrd to reading it - thank you Annamaria for a great post!Yrsa Sigurdardottirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889410114439001207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-31120169721518069002012-07-23T18:47:57.401-04:002012-07-23T18:47:57.401-04:00And a great read it is!

It always amazes me how long and difficult a road it is to build something great and worthwhile, and how short and easy it is to bring it crashing down. And it is more often than not an arrogant, self-opinionated, under-brained (male) arsehole who does it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-67676884196222522212012-07-23T14:02:09.555-04:002012-07-23T14:02:09.555-04:00This sounds fascinating.

Somehow the Brits always get blamed for something-perhaps well earned.
