| Geoff (spidge) posted a link to an analysis of the effect of the bomb that is quite detailed and quite fascinating. It is somewhere in this thread I think. Perhaps he can post it again. Its a long article but worth the read.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."
(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
