    Just wondering if anyone had read the introduction by Taylor, for the Penguin classics (mine is 1985).
    If so, what were your thoughts?

    (i would type out his main arguments, but i'm pressed for time)
    Captain Blackadder: You see, Baldrick, in order to prevent war two great super-armies developed. Us, the Russians and the French on one side, Germany and Austro-Hungary on the other. The idea being that each army would act as the other's deterrent. That way, there could never be a war.
    Private Baldrick: Except, this is sort of a war, isn't it?
    Captain Blackadder: That's right. There was one tiny flaw in the plan.
    Lieutenant George: O, what was that?
    Captain Blackadder: It was bollocks.
