The Sunday Quote No. 122


The Sunday Quote - 7 August 05

''All the businesses of war, and indeed all the business of life, is to endeavour to find out what you don't know by what you do; that is what I call ''guessing what was the other side of the hill''.

Duke of Wellington 1769-1852


Today's quote is used by Dr Richard North in the introduction to his recently published Defence Paper titled ''The Wrong Side of the Hill.''

Dr North's paper provides a detailed background to one of the most significant, yet largely unreported political developments of recent years: The moves being made by the United Kingdom to integrate its armed forces with those of the European Union and capable of acting independently of Nato.
