Which British wartime decisions does this assessment reject?
Short answerYes, especially its treatment of some smaller allies, the choice of Dresden, and delayed preparations such as building enough sloops.
NotesBritish treatment of the Poles, Finns, and other factions is among the choices disputed here. The strategic reasoning behind occupying Iceland and Greenland is understandable, and the bombing campaign is not rejected as a whole. Dresden remains difficult to justify when other cities offered clearer military value. The broader criticism is that Britain predicted war earlier than many rivals yet still postponed preparations that could have shortened it. Building more sloops and escorts before 1939 is one concrete example of the missing readiness.
