Gary Cooper plays Alvin York, the real-life country lad and sharpshooter drafted to fight during World War I but blocked from killing by his pacifist sentiments. Howard Hawks makes a rousing, heroic film out of the tale, and Cooper gives one of his best performances (for which he won an Oscar). The 1941 feature seems as much a valentine to wartime America (and a not-so-subtle piece of propaganda) as anything, with Hawks capturing splendidly shot scenes of life in York's home state of Tennessee, which in turn provide a striking contrast to the battlefield. A key scene in the film, in which York is presented with an argument in favor of killing in war, is still thought provoking. --Tom Keogh |

Sergeant York is a movie that everyone must see to understand how our country has become free. The great sacrifices that these men endured are evident by our freedom of choice and religion that we enjoy every day. Our country must know the truth of what was necessary for this great freedom that we have today. |

0736654593Audio Cassette Version Verdun 1916 (Penguin History) by Alistair Horne Book Description Verdun was the battle that lasted ten months; the battle in which at least 700,000 men fell along a fifteen-mile front, the battle which aimed to defeat the enemy rather than bleed him to death. But this book is more than a list of facts...it is a profoundly moving and sympathetic study of the men who fought there. It shows that Verdun is the key to understanding the First World War - the key to the minds of those who waged it, to the traditions that bound them, and to the world that gave them the opportunity. One of the most outstanding books ever written on World War I, on its publication, THE OF GLORY was awarded the Hawthornden Prize for history. |

the Last Man :
Spring 1918 by Lyn MacDonald Hardcover - 416 pages (November 1999) This book retells it like it was for the men in the trenches back in 1918. The firsthand accounts provide the common soldier's view not commonly found in most history books. Many memorable moments like the counter-attack made by the London-Scottish, and a Colonel Lowry's escape from the Germans during a rainy night. It is a very readable book and shows the futility of the tactics of the time. One of the best history books I've ever purchased. |
