Re: War and remembrance
Swims, you say, "There is absolutely no glory in War."Far too many innocents killed." and I'm sure everyone would agree with you.
I understand your hatred of war being glorified in books and films...BUT a good novel or drama which revolves around the tragedy of families caught up in a war situation is a very different thing surely?

Re: War and remembrance
A quote..Those who cling to the untrue doctrine that violence never settles anything would be advised to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk, and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Nations and peoples who forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and freedoms.I can’t remember who said it and I may have put it down badly.

Fill ya boots lad.
But me, Silver Tabby and Mups have more decorum now at our age.
Not sure who the fourth OFF lady member in the little black hat is though.
Oh Mort ..... I luv it. Glad you kept a copy.
I think Rehab was hoping we were going to be naked, but he'll have to make do and imagine, can't have him getting too ever-excited poor chap.
I remember rehearsing that, took weeks to get it right didn't it, but weren't we perfection itself in the end.
Can't remember if the one in the black hat was ruthio or May now.....

I sure hope you will get the entire set.
So, about Winds of War. That has a completely different cast. And I suspect it may make watching "War and Remembrance"difficult. Not to worry. You will find "War and Remembrance" totally fulfilling.
You go, girl. Happy watching
This set arrived yesterday - and have watched disc 1 of 16.
I found the time shifts a little confusing to begin with - but once I became hooked on the storyline it didn't bother me so much. This first disc introduces the main -essential - characters and, as said in the OP, gives insight into all sides of the conflict. To early for me to give an informed opinion but I am looking forward to watching the rest of the series.
Thank you for alerting me to this series, Bakerman.
