they needed patton to go back and to plan for sicily. so, you know, again, it's one of those things that unfortunately historians tend to find -- and i'm sure i've done it as well -- we tend to find those smoking guns or those little moments. and those moments, unfortunately, helped distort history rather than illuminate it. >> after you did all the research and wrote the book, what do you think was the most intriguing thing about bradley, to you? >> one of the things i think that's interesting to me about bradley is that he was -- he was able to be in like a really nice guy when it came to anyone from sergeant level on down. and his junior officers. and he did deal with people with a lot of respect, i have to say. and yet at the same time, he was basically a blood-thirsty general. i mean, there's a situation -- there's an incident in normandy where american soldiers, unfortunately, at the time some germans would pretend to surrender. they'd have a grenade under them and blow themselves up and kill a couple of the americans. and bradley

who saved the american invasion in sicily? who finally broke through the german defenses and could have taken berlin and may or may not actually have had troops in there if he hadn't been ordered to withdraw? i think you guys all get the point. those are legitimate achievements that should be credited to bradley. now, there are, of course, bradley does have negatives. he's not god. he does make mistakes. and we can talk about them a little bit later. my point is that all of the things i've just said, not one of them is part of the popular image of the general. and even to the extent that there is a popular image of the general or any image among historians and world war ii buffs. and i think -- i think the reason for this starts with bradley himself. bradley was -- he had an almost militant disdain for publicity. he did not want to be the star of the show when it came to the cameras rolling. now, a few people have written about this. they've often said that he was shy. i would have to say that -- well, he wasn't very outgoing

to sicily there in paris well from france to spain now in court employees in the dritte have protested against the one hundred billion euro bailout for spanish banks it comes amid cuts to wages and benefits for public sector workers eurozone is shoring up spain's banking sector which was left with billions of euros of bad loans after the property bubble that burst spanish journalists right we get i'm sure but i don't respect him a little earlier here in r.t. he says that people are angry because banks which have caused the crisis are getting help the spanish government has been pushing a very very strict agenda of austerity cuts for months already and that is the recent why. the i.m.f. and the euro zone are not asking for those for that agenda to be implemented because they know it's being implemented but now it becomes compulsory not fallen terry so that's a different standard and why people are angry is that of course they see this. so yes certainly the banks have to bailout we need our banking system intact of course but people who stand it because the banks are actually at the root
