| Editorial comments: | After 1400. Unfortunately this version of the interview omits the most famous section, in which MT said with great force: "I can't bear Britain in decline. I just can't. We who either defeated or rescued half Europe, who kept half Europe free, when otherwise it would be in chains. And look at us now." Text of the piece, including the omitted words, can be read here. |
