Yer what? Remind me of the last few years' Daily Express front pages, if you'd be so kind.

It would not surprise me in the least if there turns out to be a Muslim holocaust in the future

No danger of that as long as we keep strong laws in place on freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and right to life. Traditional British freedoms, in fact, which are the best antidote to fascism yet found, which is why Churchill was so keen to export them round the world.

However the sort of history I would like covered has so little info available

Extremely good point - there's a strong case for saying WW2 in general is covered wrong, since we concentrate mostly on things that affected the UK (or indeed the south-eastern UK), like the Battle of Britain. The forces engaged on either side in that battle were minute compared to things like Stalingrad or Kursk or Okinawa or Burma, but those are things we only learn about because we're interested rather than because we're taught. Or from Commando comics, of course, which I thoroughly recommend.
There's also the English Civil War, which is by many definitions far more important in English history than WW2. More dead, for a start, as a proportion of population, and the consequences have been felt everywhere in England every day for 350 years.
