A period piece set to the backdrop of
"The Seven Years War" (French & Indian War) in the mid-18th Century.
Although the real music critics gave this
score mixed reviews, I personally loved the movie, which may have biased my opinion of the
CD. I find that as I listen to it, I can visualize the events that occurred in the
movie. I think that this is what soundtracks are all about.

A stalwart Tom Hanks plays
Captain Miller, a soldier's soldier, who takes a small band of troops
behind enemy lines to retrieve a private whose three brothers have
recently been killed in action. It's a public relations move for the
Army, but it has historical precedent dating back to the Civil War. Some
critics of the film have labeled the central characters stereotypes. If
that is so, this movie gives stereotypes a good name: Tom Sizemore as
the deft sergeant, Edward Burns as the hotheaded Private Reiben, Barry
Pepper as the religious sniper, Adam Goldberg as the lone Jew, Vin
Diesel as the oversize Private Caparzo, Giovanni Ribisi as the soulful
medic, and Jeremy Davies, who as a meek corporal gives the film its most
memorable performance.

The Ultimate WW-II Experience!
Based on the bestseller by
Stephen E. Ambrose, the epic 10-part miniseries Band of Brothers tells
the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne
Division, U.S. Army. Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy
Company, as well as soldiers' journals and letters, Band of Brothers
chronicles the experiences of these men who knew extraordinary bravery
and extraordinary fear. They were an elite rifle company parachuting
into France early on D-Day morning, fighting in the Battle of the Bulge
and capturing Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were also a
unit that suffered 150 percent casualties, and whose lives became
legend.

Featuring Allan W. Eckert's, "Narratives of America" Series |
The Frontiersmen, by Allan W. Eckert, Bantam/Domain,
1984.
From Mike Dunton:
Eckert is a masterful storyteller. He uses thorough research of historical fact and
fleshes it out to craft a captivating storyline. I wish that history was this
interesting when it was presented to me as a young student.
If you had 18th Century frontier ancestors,
you may catch a glimpse of what their life was like. My edition was 750+ pages with
extensive research reference notes, glossary, and index.

to a frenzy by the French, the Iroquois were cutting a swath of desolation from New York

cunning. Cabins were burned, entire families massacred, victims scalped, captives
tortured. Yet, in the end, the Iroquois would pay the highest price.

The Wilderness War, by Allan W. Eckert, Bantam/Domain, 1985.
From the Publisher:
From Niagara Falls to Lake Champlain, the warriors of the mighty Iroquois ruled
supreme. Not even the savagery of the French and Indian wars could cool their fury or halt
their power. But by 1770 the restless white men were warring once again. Thayendanegea,
the valiant Iroquois war chief, allied his fierce tribes with the one
white man the Indians loved and trusted, Sir William Johnson. Once more
the frontier would erupt, pitting the Indians' unvanquished spirit
against the white setters' relentless challenge. Allan W. Eckert's
Narratives of America are true sagas of the brave men and courageous
women who won our land. Every character and event in this sweeping
series is drawn from actual history and woven into the vast and powerful
epic that was America's westward expansion. Allan W. Eckert has made
America's heritage an authentic, exciting, and powerful reading
experience.
