The Endless Monty vs Patton debate is fascinating, I think it reflects something quite deep in American culture. I'm not entirely sure they have produced many warts and all histories of world war 2. The best I've read is Rick Atkinsons trilogy. However there is one amusing trait in this book, whenever a US failure is described a similar British failure is also described. It's as if he thinks his audience cannot take descriptions of US failure unless ballenced by similar tales from allies. Most of the rest of US military history seems to froth at the mouth when Montgomery is mentioned. Presumably this is because he was in command of US forces on two occasions both entirely successfully. The Normandy Campaign was one of the most successfull allied battles of WW2, His command of the Northern Shoulder of the Bulge was entirely Successfull and probably saved Hodges from being relieved, This seems to have been unforgivable in American eyes.
I can recognise the observation, and I'm not even Anglo-Saxon (although I do have forefathers in Angel/Slesvig and in Saxony/SE Germany).
Many years ago I used to be active over on the Battleships vs Battleships board but had to stop posting and lurking there, simply because it damaged my general high respect of America and the American people! Other nations could be quite tedious too, incl. a few British, but I often wondered how much this anti-British attitude appeared to just hide a huge inferiority complex!!!! Like if they feared King George III could show up any day and declare it was all just a dream and now we're back to good ol' times in His Majestys Service. I mean come on USian fellows, you're grown up now - and welcomed BTW!
But if reuniting the two great nations could mean a compromise between the US attitude and the often almost masochist British self-critique it perhaps would be a good idea. How about Trump and May getting married? She need a new "lover" after she dumped Juncker and the first lady in USA doesn't appear that interested in the job.
BTW the British often appear "quite American" when the subject is Napoleonic wars...
