if there was anywhere that would be welcoming of the british army it was likely to be these port cities which were much more cosmopolitan, much more transient in their population, and was largely dependent on trade with the rest of the british empire for your livelihoods before the revolution. in many places, for example, newport, rhode island, welcomes the british army was kind of a council of their higher citizens reading a proclamation of greeting for clinton when he lands. a lot of these places there were kind of people who welcomed the chance to get back to business when the british arrived. but over the course of the war they realized that the cost of having soldiers quartered there and experience of occupation made them realize that the empire wasn't kind of a place to go back to. >> i want to come back to the british occupation in a second but one of the things that struck me about your book and maybe think about things in different ways is the extent to which the revolutionary regimes arise and come into being in the immediate months or the early months of the war were themselv

the first is concerning the british army? this is a sto b concerning the british army?league about - concerning the british army? this is a story by my colleague about how. a story by my colleague about how all but one of the army�*s infantry battalions are short of battle ready troops. and we are coming up to, in the next couple of weeks, we will see the integrated review where the government will set out its priorities and where they�*ll be spending money. and it seems quite likely that they�*ll have to get rid of some of these battalions, because they�*ve got so few soldiers, it�*s just not working out you�*ll have to lower the number. but one of the things competing for ministers is how do you spend that defence it? that government has increased how much they�*ll spend on the military dashed defence budget. but you have the question, do you spend that on dealing with new capabilities like cyber warfare and protecting satellites in space? or do you look at traditional forms of spending money on soldiers, army equipment? we have to look at the next few years, the big

and at that moment the british army appeared to be on the edge of collapse. n the next ten days, just ten days a week and a half the army advanced 350 miles to the egyptian coaster 60 miles up from alexandria. let's stop for moment and talk about that. there's erwin rommel. so most famous of the germans generals who soon as the desert fox pretty wrote a memoir during his time in north africa called war without kate described this grabbing two years of commanding and africa, soldiers involved in a deadly game of war, a soup description that ignores the fact there are civilians there. he gained a postwar reputation as a good german, hold onto that name and the thought of that reputation. when the summer of 1942. this >> to the map. they say people were trying to flee from cairo to jerusalem. jerusalem and palestine were very uncertain was barely the disk through the expectation palestine was he is coming. this was frightening, especially officer for the jewish population of palestine. but the meaning was extremely unclear. on the one hand there's been a news rep

to understand that, the map ten days, concord will work and at that moment, the british army goes. ext ten days, the army advances 350 miles on the coast, 60 miles outside of alexandria. let's stop for a second and talk about this. the most famous of german generals, he wrote a memoir called driving in the millions name, representing the summer of 1940, let's look at the map, the people trying to flee to jerusalem, through some was uncertain jerusalem was barely more. the expectation, ronald is coming. this is frightening, especially the jewish population and the meaning was unclear. and the one hand, there is a news report from london the end of june that secret information world, 700,000 jews murdered by the nazis and some of them carried on. a couple of days after this the jewish congress published report saying altogether, this was a because editors think it was important, it's because they couldn't be sure if it was true. they were not alone in this. in a newspaper editorial plan to be published in the we have no idea whether or not they are true. for the 75000 jews in egypt an

i spoke to a former head of the british army who said he wondered if that had been a partial motive forhat the military were worried that maybe the civilian government, when it had full power, would be willing to hand them over to international justice. is there an appetite in america now underjoe biden for internationaljustice to take its course? i think as always, there is more of an appetite i forjustice for one's - enemies than one's friends. the failure of the - united states to be part of the international criminall court, which i think would be very difficult for even - a democratic administration with human rights interests like joe biden's to try- to return to, that means that i think it probably will be not| unserious attempts to try to link human rights backi into foreign policy more. but with the usual caveats - and hypocrisies that are always involved in this. i think it's probably likely- to be better than not doing it, but it's never going to bel purely or the sole or even the major influence _ on what the united states does. jeff, thank you. let's stay in the region. for
