12. Hamilton Fish III - What crazy times, just like now! And the Cripps Mission!

Fishy-Fish seemed to be straddling several fences at once for years! Was he Nazi? Was he anti-US WWII involvement or pro-?

Cripps was sent to try to get India to join in on the Allies side but various factions in India had demands for post-war freedom from England, or they would not fight or support England. They had Cripps (and Churchill who didn't want Indian independence) over a barrel!

The things you learn from Dr. Seuss even when yer old.

Thanks to KS T!
