Can someone please recommend me some reading or watching that isn't entirely infused with cold war rancor towards the USSR?

      In WW2 the British kinda/sorta invaded Iceland against their will. Ostensibly to "secure" Iceland from falling to the Nazis but the Icelanders weren't really given a choice in the matter IIRC.

      British and French were ready to pre-emptively invade Norway. Had troops right off the coast ready to disembark. Germans beat them to the mark by a day or two. They then smoothly switched gears to an "intervention" and the corporate media covered for them.
