of the british failure. he even wrote out the dialogue of that dream in which he imagined lord cornwallis apologizing to him for the british defeat in yorktown. his memoirs are the most comprehensive and the most detailed of any general on either side of the war. charles cornwallis, the general who had the most successful worker rear was an imperial troubleshooter in india and in ireland. in ireland he was -- there was an assassination attempt on him in phoenix park. he was a man with utterly no pretension even though he was was the most aristocratic of all the generals. he refuses to live in the governor's palace and he always refused to draw more than one salary and he was a restless man who says that the army was his love. and he was buried as he might have wished and service on the river ganges where there is a huge memorial to him in india. sir george rawdon, the only person really to emerge as a hero from the american revolutionary war in britain. and finally the most experienced of all government mini

the third of the british. often gets about 50,000 new pro would be where they stayed on to live in america. i've always wondered about all those german names in charlottesville he was able to read this book in a place where some of the scenes of the war occurred. in the british army captured at saratoga, captain prison in shows will for the year including many germans. neck until you, many of their descendants are still there. >> i read read that revolutionary war was england's vietnam. would you comment about problem of the populace getting behind the war in england? america was never behind the war in vietnam like they were world war ii. the factor of the -- john in may from each other, north carolina and i did not, the south vietnamese look the same. all of the american soldiers, real parallels. it was very difficult to tell fan -- friend from foe which is one of the reasons why that have restored government to the areas they talk like new york and charleston because there are never certain it was on their

it would be a british judge. if they couldn't agree they would toss a coin and they would pick a third judge from one of those two countries to help you decide the case. the u.s. initially was reluctant to participate in the tribunal system for a variety of reasons. some of which had some of which have do with domestic politics to the treaty came before the u.s. senate in 1824 right before a hotly contested presidential election. the secretary of state at the time was running for president and there was a lot that sort of politics that went around it. there was also concerned about the british and one of the richest -- the british were using this abolitionism campaign as a kind of advancement for their desires to control the oceans. had been a long source of tension between the u.s. and britain. one because of the war of 1812 was the way the british navy would board and american ships, which conscript americans on board and say hey, actually we don't think you are really americans. you are british and guess what,

and peggy and he will gracefully exit with the british to the british with the hudson on the ship and go new york and collect the 20,000 pounds and be made a generally of -- general of the british army and all will be well. but things don't quite go that way. and you may know the story, i want to leave time for questions here. let me just say that there were a series of coincidences and unlucky or lucky in some case, breaks which andre and arnold meet, but it gets to be toward dawn on the shore of the hudson, and some other things happen. andre has no choice but to go with arnold. before he went, clinton said to him, there were three things so you to avoid. one, you will not get in disguise. number two, you will not go in to enemy territory, number three, you won't collect any incriminating papers. it doesn't work out that way. andre finds himself in arnold's hands. i won't say clutches. finds himself captive, essentially, it's almost dawn. he has to go to the enemy territory where he's hidden for awhile. he has to change out of the british uniform in to disguise clothes. ultimately a

terms of cost or british public. this will be seen like the crusades, he said. and you will be an ignominious in your defeat. so i advise you just take your fleet and ships and go back now and save as much of your reputation as you possibly can. well, it's really interesting question, and it's an unanswerable question. what would have happened if the british had destroyed the continental army on long island and manhattan, and they had several chances to do so. and the howes as i suggested really didn't want to destroy the continental army. they wanted to -- as they said to rough it up, proportionally demonstrate that they couldn't possibly win, but they didn't want the war to become the kind of war against the irish and scottish that was a genocidal war. they wanted to ended in a way that they could all come back together. and they valued as peace makers more than generals or have add models. that is a question that as i said is on answerable but i have an obligation having spent four or five years thinking about it

in 1941, the british go into syria. the french highlight tigers against the british. there was a french fighter pilot shot down planes in 1941. they fought like tigers against the british. and the british children's author, wrote all, he was a british fighter pilot in syria. he said that i, for one, will never forgive the french for how fiercely they fought against us. eventually the french were beaten. they were offered the chance to fight to free france against the germans. all that about 6000 chose to go back to france. they refuse to do anything having to do with them. so maybe if we had been occupied, we would have behaved the same way. but the french find that their history world war ii very confusing. >> host: this is booktv on c-span2. we are in london talking with sir max hastings. he has a new book coming out on world war i. it is entitled "catastrophe 1914: europe goes to war." was world war i optional? >> guest: an amazing number of historians, including some british ones, right as if it did not matter who won world war i. well, i have to say that i think

were excellent record keepers sova completes archives are in the british archives in london. it was pretty easy to reconstruct what the courts had done. >>host: from that spark came this book "the slave trade and the origins of international human rights law" published by oxford stanford law professor jenny martinez is the author. you are watching booktv on c-span2. >> on your screen is a new book him called the romney's family table. when did you find time to put this together? >> oddly enough i had written a cookbook before but nobody would know that and having a mother and grandmother was a fantastic look into the enormously blessed with only boys when they got married i thought all of these family traditions and recipes will get lost because my boys are boys and will not be cooking so i made a cookbook of family favorites and gave it to the daughters of what that meant i had five copies that has been greatly expanded from that time that the other amazing thing that happened is my love of cooking and sharing the family table was passed on to my sons and they actually do co

the british cover is sideways on view. it's not smiling. it's a sort of i suppose it's more poetic rather than cheerful. it has a little jar containing an insect engaging at this and inspecting this. >> why did it sell in england? >> i have no idea. publishers have their ways and i'm quite happy to have both of them out there. >> an appetite for wonder the making of the scientist. richard dawkins is the author. will be in bookstores in september of 2013. this is book tv on c-span2. .. >> host: first of all congratulations professor on another great book. >> guest: thank you for reading it. it's different than past books by him excited it's finally done. >> host: so tell me, how did you find a savior general?

and the british in 1763, the british parliament says, hey, this land is in america but we're paying the bills for this. it's team for the americans to pay their fair share of the freight. so the whole british change in policy, the abandonment of salutary neglect and the desire to tax americans to at least make them pay a share of the costs of the british empire is what really sets this conflict in motion. i think it was not just, it wasn't the southern planters debt. it was the the fact that the british just didn't think that the americans had been doing all that they could to support their empire. they were all part of the empire. and of course the real villains in the british point of view were not southern planters but those new england smugglers. john hancock, people like that. >> what's the most sure pries thing in researching our lives that you did not appreciate in writing this book? >> that is a good question. >> sure is. i think that, i'm sorry but we are at the constitution center. i really did not appreciate how much the continental congress evolved from this extra-legal body

what is the role of the british monarchy today in british life? just to read the pretty -- look at the pretty pictures? ? is there any role in america in british leadership? charles would talk about bad architecture or the need to improve architecture or these sort of off the wall ob segs. is there any way the british people are led by the royal family. >> what you just said is exactly right. they're led by the british royal family. it's a constitutional monarchy. the officials whom they elect, but they also have this family which from the time of the queen's parents, you know, it's been instilled in the queen and the way that she has led her family is they are supposed to put forward you know, the face of the best of british life. and so you know, ordinary britons today might not have any interaction with the royals but they can look and see the royal family as something that's above politics, a real continuity and you know, a real pat of their culture. >> are they allowed to vote? >> the royals? >> yeah. >> i think everybody but the queen. she s

the british, we were british whenever occupied. so it's very hard for us and we should never really make moral judgments about life under the occupation and the french relationship with the germans. i mean, we know how many now. i mean, it's estimated that between well over 20,000 babies were born to french women by german soldier fathers during the occupation. some people say even many more. but i remember when we were preparing the book, we went so see itself zack berlin who worked in paris just a after 19 1944 with my wife's grandfather who's the ambassador there and put to him, you know, what was the rit degree of cooperation or collaboration with the germans when you had to survive? and he said quite rightly, you know, a waiter would have to go on serving germans. he said but the important thing is you didn't have to be cozy with the germans, and i've always wondered if a great moral philosopher should use the word cozy if you like the dividing line between occupation. and for the french the difficulty when the americans arriv

the tells them so that he, the king, and the british power, british army and british empire are going to bring these people to heel. they're going to crush the rebellion. and it's when that speech reaches boston on the first day of the new year because of the great delay in crossing the ocean, the first day of 1776 that the people in the army under washington, people everywhere realize this isn't going to be a short unpleasant business which will wind up in reconciliation. and we better be fighting for independence. now, they don't dare say it right away. although some of them are writing it, like nathaniel greene is writing it in his letter. >> rose: another aide to george washington. >> yes, nathaniel greene who, like young knox, knew no more of the military when he joined up. and when he was made a jeb at the age of 33 knew no more of the military than what he'd read in books. but we have to remember that was an age that felt if you wanted to learn how to do something or know something a good way to do it was a close study of books which is the whole idea of the enlightenment. wash

. >> speaking of writers and british writers in particular, what is it about the british style that seems so concise and well put together? >> is it how they are taught in school? >> i think maybe. it's how they talk in school. i don't really know. i mean i think -- the writers or at my you're a great deal. i think a lot of it comes -- what is good about the english riding and the british writing is the arguments are developed slowly. people aren't scared of using complicated constructions and long words. i don't know if that is where i would see the paper, but then it's not so the clarity is more reticent way of writing and more ironic. maybe the irony is the crucial thing. i don't know. what do you think? >> how many books do you review in the london review of books? >> we reviewed about 13 pieces in each issue and about three-quarters of them in the 24 year. >> how do you pick who gets reviewed? >> apart from obviously some people who always get reviewed but you're not going to miss the novel, but how do we pick? the books that are not self-evident, we look at them and it looks as if t

franklin as early as 1740 predicted that america would have a greater population than the british british isles within 100 years, and he was exactly right. that did occur in the early 1840s in the time of president van buren. and until relations broke down between, between the british and the americans, the hope amongst these people including washington and jefferson and all but a few real hotheads like samuel adams or patrick henry was that it would be worked out, but instead of being in a subordinate status, the two jurisdictions would be virtually co-equal but sharing the same monarch. and then, of course, it evolved, and relations broke down. but the, you know, that was the aspiration. then once independence was achieved. it was quite another matter to set up a system that worked. the original articles of confederation were not successful, and at the same time that a committee led by thomas jefferson was instructedded by the continental congress to prepare a declaration of independence and franklin was instructed to try and round up some allies in europe for the revolutionary war that

four young men, all muslims, all british-born.or violent jihadism to emerge from among britain's muslims was not unexpected by close observers of that population. the 3 million-strong muslim community began immigrating in substantial numbers during the 1960s onward, mainly from south asia, but younger generations have been born in the uk, and many have become deeply disaffected amid the country's economic troubles. >> so youth unemployment is a significant issue. at the same time there's significant numbers of people going into higher education and into university, so what you then have are very highly skilled, highly trained young difficult to secure employment in the graduate jobs market, which again creates huge degree of frustration. >> mainstream muslim leaders say they fear the impact of violent extremists upon such alienated young muslims. the spokesman for one of the country's biggest mosques is salman farsi. >> there are certain groups that are extremely divisive and they can influence young people from our community and

so i loved it. >> justin webb, how would you explain to the british people about that u.s. congress, the u.s. president, how they act, capri, don't cooperate, etc.? >> i think that american politics is broken to an extent that a lot of americans do not fully grasp. and i know that among those that can about these things there is a discussion in the united states about the failure of cooperation on capitol hill and the way that there is a level of hatred. that isn't too strong of a word in modern american politics. but there wasn't even a relatively recently. but i actually think that you've got to go further than that. and i do wonder whether there is an extent to which the u.s. constitution, this wonderful document that is in so many ways so great for you. it isn't fit for a purpose and the modern age. the house of representatives is a really failed body. i think you have to get to grips with the gerrymandering that is taking place on both sides. but you have ended up now with a ludicrous house that doesn't do what it was originally meant to do and what the members of the

utah beach, which was the farthest envision force, the british and cfarthest envision e british and canadians had a tough time of it, but by the end of june 6th, canadian troops were as far as six miles inland. at omaha beach, no more than 1500 yards inland. there's a disparity between the resistance that these allied invaders found, and their ability to push inland, and that is the trick in the invasion, get inland as far as you can and quickly as you can, hopefully five miles or more, push the enemy's artillery out of range so they can't shell the beach. that's when you come across the beach, and at omaha beach, it took several days to get to the point, but nevertheless, you know, turns out to be successful, and the casualties, wow, you talk 3,000 or so deaths all together. they are lighter than many feared. >> host: what about the gliders that went in, the paratroopers that went in ahead of time? >> guest: yeah. there was a decision that in order to secure flanks of the invasion force coming in over the beach that you needed an airborne operation, and it's a big one including men coming by

the british believed that bombing cities was most effective in trying to whittle away german morale, to have the germans essentially implode. the americans flew mostly by day. the americans believed that hitting certain strategic targets, particularly oil starting in the spring of 1944, that oil was the achilles heel of the german war machine. and that proved to be true. it's absolutely vital in understanding how the ground forces are able to eventually prevail to know that these air forces by the time we get to 1945 have been hammering all this panoply of targets. the casualties were staggering. the odds of surviving and fulfilling your quota which can kept going up, initially it was 25 missions you had to fly and then it was raised to 30 missions, in some cases 35 missions, the odds of fulfilling those 30 missions, 35 missions and going home became pretty dire. and you found that there were few professions within the profession of arms that were as dangerous as being a crewman on a b17, for example. it was ex your quota which kept off it was extremely hazardous flying against germa
