Quotes by Brendan Simms (?)

“Hitler, he predicted, ‘would in the end challenge us because his black sorcery appealed to the worst in men; it supported their hates and ridiculed their tolerances; and it could not exist permanently in the world with a system whose reliance on reason and justice was fundamental’.146”
― Brendan Simms, Hitler: A Global Biography

“Jinými slovy řečeno, nová mluslimská geopolitika z poloviny devadesátých let 20. století nebyla reakcí na západní zasahování, nýbrž na nečinnost tváří v tvář genocidě a etnickým čistkám [v bývalé Jugoslávii].”
― Brendan Simms, Europe: The Struggle for Supremacy from 1453 to the Present
