...murderers of Lidice would have been hard to detect in the streets of pre-1939 Berlin. Our own seemingly limitless capacity for killing Asians tells us something of what we are actually seeing when we travel across this country. And in the incredible debacle of the Light Brigade at remote Sebastopol, the inhumanity of mid-Victorian England was sharply illuminated...
