Winged Vengeance Echoes in War Time Opponents
A wartime reflection links myth and history to current battles. The piece recalls Nemesis and Shakespeare’s Edmund to argue that those who sow the wind reap the whirlwind, forecasting retribution against the Axis powers after Dunkirk, France, and Normandy. It cites El Alamein, Kokoda, and Stalin’s advance as signs the wheel has turned.
