BOOKS AND MOVIES

Two books were received as gifts this Christmas. And one movie is about to be seen.

Band of Brothers, Stephen Ambrose…….
I have watched the HBO series once a year for years now……and now I have the book.

I recommend it to all folks……for a testimonial of ….of a lot of things. It is possible to imagine that you know these young men, men who now are not so young.

Read about em and be proud. They are among America’s Finest.

The other book is theme-related: Selected Chaff, the Wartime Columns of Al McIntosh, part of the inspiration for the Ken Burns documentary The War.

Commentary on both of these excellent volumes will be forthcoming.
I recommend this book to all as well.

Read it and be proud.

The movie we are to see is Charlie Wilson’s Secret War. We go to few movies, but this one appears to be a winner, the story of an American who took care of business: his personal life and his patriotic duty.

The favourite way to watch movies at The Study is in the library with dog and drink close at hand. HSIT!!

I am hoping that this is the continuation of a response to lefty trash which has been and is so pervasive.

A review, comments will appear.
