	First World War.com - Feature Articles - How the Great War Was Lost - and Found
		The script was written by John Terraine and a young Corelli Barnett, the enfant terrible of British military history, fresh from his revelations about Montgomery.
		Barnett reveals that the series first went on screen with only 6 shows recorded.
		Unfortunately, as the weeks went by, this six-lap lead gradually faded until the final episode was actually being frantically edited only 36 hours before its screening.

		Barnett, it seems, would prefer to base his judgments on a non-existent census and the later corruptions of these Philharmonic manuscripts.
		As Barnett is bold enough to dismiss the explanations of Corelli’s contemporaries and associates it is hardly surprising that he will not accept mine based on them.
		Unfortunately Barnett has too many axes of his own to grind to make a dispassionate assessment of my arguments, but it is a little galling that he so consistently imputes to me positions which I never adopt.

	03/28/03 - Bookshelf: Cultural Causes of the British Disease
		Barnett's British title, changed here in the mindless and magniloquent manner of publishers, was "The Audit of War." That's a much fairer description of his exhaustive review of Britain's industrial performance during World War II.
		Barnett concludes that it was actually artificially stimulated by American financial and technical transfers, and that the symptoms of subsequent failure were already apparent.
		Barnett argues, every major British industry turned out to be like the steel industry: "a patched-up and added-on relic of Victorian and Edwardian technology." All were fragmented, technologically conservative, infested with labor unions and chronically underproductive by German and American standards.

		Given this abundance of recent scholarship on Corelli and his contemporaries, it was high time someone took on the task of reassessing and revising our perspective of this influential composer in a book-length study.
		The fact that two of Corelli’s patrons, Benedetto Pamphilij and Christina of Sweden, had organs in their homes, as Allsop points out, in no way lessens the association made by Italian composers of the harpsichord with the sonata da camera and of the organ with the sonata da chiesa.
		Corelli himself never mentions it in his published music, and there is no composition in the archives of the Accademia Filarmonica by Corelli that would have served as part of the materials required for admission at the rank of composer.” (Allsop, Arcangelo Corelli, 25).

		Barnett’s larger subject is power, and how the British lost it.
		He begins with Downing Street’s stupendous error in entering World War II on the assumption that France could hold as fast in 1940 as it had in 1914, and with the expectation that an inadequate Navy would rule the waves as completely as it had when the Empire was smaller and its Navy proportionately larger.
		Barnett then adds, ‘Burke was so little relished for his highmindedness that he was known as the dinner bell, his rising to speak being the signal for men to depart the chamber in search of muttonchops.’

	Churchill College : Churchill Archives Centre: The story so far..
		Further fund raising became a central task, but enabled the Centre to keep pace with new technology and standards, providing air conditioning for the conservation workshop, CCTV for the reading rooms, and the first photocopier and computers for the offices.
		To quote Correlli Barnett, "as is usual with fund-raising, all this proved a long, hard slog.
		A comparable development was the establishment of the Archives Fellow-Commonership (now a By-Fellowship) designed to allow a scholar from outside Cambridge to reside in College for a term or longer in order to pursue their research.

	Building a New Jerusalem?: Labour in Power 1945-51, Part I
		Yet, while htere is no disputing the fact that this Government's great expansion of the Welfare State and its nationalization of several industries were indeed important changes, there is disagreement over whether these changes led to much meaningful change within society.
		Corelli Barnett does not concern himself nearly as much with the concerns that Vincent and others bring up but rather focuses on the effect of the Attlee Government on British industrial and economic decline.
		Facing a stark set of choices between building a Welfare State or stimulating business and industry, Barnett argues that the Labour Government chose the former at the expense of the latter, with very deleterious results.

	Eric the Unread: Do the right "get it"?
		Yet, as Correlli Barnett argues on this page today, it is the President's approach that has put his country - and as we have seen this week, many others - in greater danger.
		While debate rages between Kerry and Bush about their ability to win the war on Terror, to Barnett the War on Terror is actually being lost.
		The truth is that since George Bush launched his illconducted 'war on terror' the perpetrators of terrorism have been not so much defeated as emboldened -- as we have seen only this week in the ruthless seizing of little Russian school-children as hostages by Chechen raiders, and its bloody conclusion.

		Barnett, C. Corelli Barnett's brilliant study of Napoleon Bonaparte dispels several of the myths surrounding this greatest figure of his age.
		Born in Corsica, Bonaparte was never truly a Frenchman, in the same way that Hitler was never a true German.
		The narrative is masterly in detail, vigorous in style, surprising in its judgements and compellingly interesting and exciting to read.

		Correlli Barnett brings to a majestic finale his acclaimed Pride and Fall quartet, tracing Britains decline from world power.
		He argues that between the Korean conflict in 1950 and the Suez debacle in 1956, Britain threw away her last opportunity to re-invent herself as an industrial nation state.
		Corelli Barnett is a distinguished author and historian, having written three acclaimed works of military history before the immense and highly praised earlier books in the Pride and Fall sequence.

		Among the instant cliches that sprang up after 9/11 was the notion that a “war on terror” is a meaningless concept.
		“It is misleading to talk of a ‘war on terrorism’, let alone a ‘war on global terrorism’,” sniffed the distinguished British historian Corelli Barnett in December.
		Corelli Barnett was wrong when he wrote that “you cannot in logic wage war against a phenomenon, only against a specific enemy.” For most of the last half-century, the activist left opposed not a specific enemy but a phenomenon – nuclear weapons.

	Jonathan Derbyshire: The present danger
		Yesterday, in the wake of the Beslan school horror, the historian Corelli Barnett more or less blamed the crisis on the war against terror itself.
		His thesis was that, since September 11th, the actions of the West (and particularly the Americans) had made things far, far worse.
		The idea that, had we negotiated with the Taliban, left Saddam in place and put more pressure on Sharon to settle, kids would now be safe in North Ossetia, is just wishful thinking.

		A recurrent theme of Barnett's is how British elites lost touch and familiarity with the sinews of modern global power.

		Professor Barnett first expressed his strong opposition to the accusation, now being made by the Bush and Blair governments, that, "because France, Germany, and Russia won't fall tamely into line with the American position, they are guilty of starting the war.

		It is moving to see the great historian Correlli Barnett speak out about this family squabble between other historians of the British services.

		It did use advanced engineering science to initiate ambitious high-tech projects (such as the V2), but this did not have a decisive influence on the course of the war.
		The historian Corelli Barnett has claimed that a Spitfire Mk V C required some 13,000 man-hours to build, as against 4000 hours for the German Messerschmitt 109G.
		Subsequent analysts have claimed that his figures are drawn from small atypical plants and that the big British plants like Castle Bromwich (pictured) with long runs achieved productivity equivalent to American or the best German figures.

		The accepted interpretation of Britain's wartime role as an island sea power is challenged by Corelli Barnett's brilliant demonstration that the dependence on seaborne imports of food and raw materials, together with the obligations of Empire, were less a form of strength to Britain than a weakness.
		Topics discussed in this book range from strategic debates in London and Washington to gripping descriptions of the Royal Navy in action: the remorseless struggle against the U-Boat in the Atlantic, the desperate convoy battles in the Mediterranean and the Arctic, and the battles in the Far East.
