Three years later Hitler marched into the Rhineland and started World War II. By the time the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor in December of 1941 our lives had become increasingly affected by the war, and many of us wound up in one or another of the armed forces for the duration. Some were killed and wounded in the service of their country; I remain convinced that many more would have died, including thousands of other Americans and Japanese, had not President Truman approved the dropping of the atom bomb which brought the war to a half...

France, which in 1984 contributed $43 million at current exchange rates, remains the country's main source...
...Cooke's compatriots are so self-critical. Indeed, Crapanzano begins his study by explaining the rift within the white community, which separates the Afrikaners from their neighbors of English descent. So profound is this mutual resentment that many Afrikaners championed Hitler during World War II rather than support what they considered a British cause. Conversely, some English speakers will drive miles out of their way rather than patronize an Afrikaner store...
