captive british officers. and this goes on up with a british double language for the americans set aside as hostages until all the officers and the ngos held prisoner by both sides have been designated as hostages, so that if the british proceed to execute any one of the original 23 it is coming to set up a blood bath. now in the end, the british decided not to do this because they would like to get out of this war from the wouldn't like it to last forever. and so they know that negotiating a peace with the united states must be difficult if both sides have the blood of lots of prisoners on their hands and then finally i want to talk about needy people which is a dimension of the civil war because native people fight on both sides and a native nations are divided by the war because natives of the same nation live on either side of this boundary which had been run against their will and their mixed in the week of the american revolution and so you have people that we often call the iroquois lit on both sides of

come out to fight the british.and that, of course, had been their mistake. so the canadian campaign collapsed, and american forces fell back toward ticonderoga. of course, in october '76 arnold fought a famous battle which was a great turning point, staved off, held off a british penetration into new york state for an additional year and, perhaps, saved the american cause. and so the, again, the campaign while on its face it was a disaster, it served a purpose. and that's another aspect of washington's character that comes through, is his ability to always look for the benefits in a situation no matter how gloomy and be -- and grim things seem. he was able to find the positive side and to keep moving forward. and, of course, the british had been stopped at the northern border by weather, by arnold and the need to return to quebec and wait for campaigning season with warmer weather. but, ultimately, their goal would be to come down via lake channel plain, lake george and the hudson. and to take the hudson and use it

it had every british done installation marked out and as it turned out the british map publishers didnot see their trade with the french even though countries are act or it is pretty well documented these other french sources for american commanders. here is a great military map the you can see focuses on the typography and this is a great map for washington because these are the areas where washington will spend most of his time during the revolution. here you can see the great natural fortress where the river cut say zigzag through the rock also for the conquest of iraq for and central new jersey, morristown, this is where washington will in camp and particularly after the british capture, and the occupation for the next seven years washington will play a psychological war of keeping pressure to use the natural elevations and keep the british from throwing them off at yorktown and saratoga as a great turning point* where they did not move their troops out of new york to help the commanders in the field. just another shot of the wonderful detail you can find on these maps. >> another

he's not in the british army. he's in a tory army unit that was formed by tories in new york, and he will fight alongside or independent of the british army. but it's not the british army. but just like what happened with tiffany's manuscript, the manuscript for jarvis is a journal was found in a trashcan and published in 1907. in 1907, we didn't want to think of the revolution as anything but the revolution. and we couldn't use the term civil war because we had had a north-south real civil war only a generation before. so the whole term civil war kind of goes away, and so does the idea of tories. well anyway, jarvis goes to war. he fights and battles all the way from new jersey down to georgia and florida. he kills americans, and writes about it. well, when the war ends, he's been in a tory regiment, and have seen plenty of battle for seven years. he comes back to denver -- danbury, connecticut, wearing his green loyalist uniform. the loyalists frequently when they got outfitted by whoever recruited them wore gre

it's from 1775 by john monster solar, british engineer, chief british engineer.just want to notice he may be noticing a lot of these maps are printed in london, including the bar map i showed you a boston harbor. so the question is how does washington get a hold of these maps in the middle of the war and not to do bar map out every british gun installation mark l. to turn that washington had the french connection. the british map publishers and dealers didn't seize their trade with the french. seasonal countries were at war ultimately, the map trade was growing on furiously in all these months are coming in. it's pretty well documented that these are coming in via french sources to american commanders. searchers again a great sort of military and not in the sense that mantra sort could see his focus is on the topography and this is a great map for washington because these are the areas where washington is actually going to spend most of its time during the revolution. here's a close-up or you can see the hub in highlands, this great natural fortress, where the ri

the british against the africans. the british won that war, and because indians led by gandhi had supported them, the indian situation in south africa seemed to look more promising. gandhi felt that he could now return to india, that his work in south africa was over, and the position was backed by a fear in him that merely money making might be his business in south africa. he told the associates and the colleagues of mine do great work, they can look after everything, and i can now go. they agreed to let him go, and they said that, however, if circumstances change here and we need you, we will send you a message and then please return. he would have to come back. he accepted this, and in his words, the threat that bound me to the community was too strong to break. this love was expressed in a series of farewell events, a gold necklace for his life, other gold chains, gold watches, a diamond ring. most presents were from the community and some from clients. after an evening occasion when the bulk of the gifts were gi

now, british petroleum today at that time was not on british petroleum. it was called anglo persian, and many other names. so the mufti of jerusalem had a shadow government. he was given virtual autonomy. he was on the british payroll. he had his own infrastructure, and he had control over the western wall. he had control over the mosque. and he was a huge agitator have and it was typical for him to speak in front of the microphone and say, i want everybody not to engage in any kind of violence. and then in the side he would say, kill the jews, kill them where they are. so he was speaking with two different voices, one for the western world, and one for the arab world. this is a tradition that goes back to the mufti. we have given all these, this information in the diplomatic cables, in the arabic tables. we our hardest to quote the arabic to mutations at the time. so the mufti of jerusalem was devious. he was part and parcel at the highest level of the hitler regime. he met with hitler in his office. he was on the hitler payroll. he was given -- he was e

the british did not intervene in this monstrous massacre. where were the british? just outside of town, outside baghdad. why were there and there? to secure the oil. they did secure the oil from british petroleum and they said if we don't secure that oil, if the nazis get that oil they will be unstoppable. the nazis did not get their oil. eventually it was stopped because someone had the courage in the iraqi government which was changing form from minute to minute to call about guards. thereafter, changed their tactics and we will no longer work with just urban riots and mass mayhem in this city, will help hitler do what he wants to do. to come around and exterminate the jews of palestine. how? first of all, with the iranians. what does the word iran mean? it means are in. the name was changed from persia in 1935 to invoke the well entrenched name of iran as a salute to a massive nazi dominated iranian infrastructure. the british took over the oil wells, secured them as they had for decades in iraq, years, not decade, move into iran, expelled the shock and brought

upset the apple cart with the british. the british had the mandate with palestine. the british had the control over german debt and the nazis wanted to keep palestine open for jews. now you remember i wrote the book about the transfer agreement. the deal between the zionists and the nazis that brought some 60,000 jews to palestine and millions and millions of their money. well, that was actually based upon the herculean deal in 1903 in which the czar, which was actually based on the mosaic deal with the farel to let my people go with the cat and will sheep and goats to come with. the nazis wanted palestine to remain a jewish settlement so they could force the jews out of europe, force the jews out of germany and into this one place and then when they were all in this one tiny tract of land, they would execute the final solution to the jews which would be extermination. and this was something that the arab were deeply involved in and when i say arab, i mean, tens of thousands of arabs. and i'll give more information about that as i go along. i want to remember -- i w

vital to the british economy. ministers have been talking to bank treats about whether they are doing enough to support the recovery. and, whether they pay their top people too much. agreement has yet been reached. i've learned that chancellor george osborn recognizes he cannot prevent billions of pounds in bonuses being paid out by the banks, which only two years ago were rescued from collapse by hundreds of billions of pounds in loans and investments from us, the taxpayers. investment banking has been a less profitable business for many banks in 2010 than in 2009. bonuses were expected to decline in any case. royal bank of scotland may pay near 1 billion pounds and the bonuses compared to last year's 1.3 billion pounds. barclays may reward 5.5 billion pounds in salaries and bonuses when the results of the of the first nine months of last year indicated it would be paying out to global employees of its investment bank. even if bonuses are cut, investment bankers won't necessarily be worse off because many of them

relations with britain were somewhat rocky because the british at least some british favors themselves but then by world war i we were their allies so would you comment on how the special relationship developed? is out of my period as we say but there is no doubt britain was still the principal enemy through the 19th century. there were people in america who were anglophiles but by and large we regarded britain as an enemy. it's not until the 1890's you are quite right the civil war we were quite worried about britain recognizing of the confederacy and adams as the investor to minister i should say to great britain headed that off special relationship didn't default until the 1890's. john hay as the secretary of state and it came out of the whole sense of in ophelia that do prepare the way for the alliance in world war i, but there are books on this and it's a very interesting story but a special relationship is a late 19th century development. yes, sir? >> in the war with britain can you say something about the relationship between having the government policy in france during the fre
