Product Information

I could light up a quarter-mile of landscape with one 18K light, and still have a stop to play with.

During World War One, whistles were used to signal the infantry to go 'over the top', in other words, to leave the trenches and advance to contact with the enemy. Now behind Nazi barbed wire and oppression, Cline and his fellow POW's must find a way to bond together to not just survive but transcend their captivity. The vampire isn’t quite as terrifying as he first thought, but she’s not the only monster at the Academy.

Nor is it if all your interested in is fast forwarding looking for gore and suffering in the death march or brutality of say Unbroken or To End All Wars, because you won't find that here. To most of the inhabitants of Central Europe the army was the state, and their lives cannot be understood without examining it.

His works are grounded on unpublished sources and physical realities, and are characterised by the attention that is given to the visual presentation – and not least the maps, which he draws himself.Instrument of War is directed by Adam Thomas Anderegg with Oscar-winning composer Mark Isham contributing the film's tremendous original score. S. B-24 bomber pilot Clair Cline is shot down and captured in northern Germany, one war ends and another begins -- to keep hope alive. After a wounded crewman dies in the woods near the landing site, the pilot yanks off one of the dead man's dog tags, causing the chain to break very easily, and the pilot takes the tag with him. When Cline (Jack Ashton) is incarcerated with other Allied troops he begins an audacious attempt to build a violin from scratch.

In 1995, he donated it to Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York City, where it was played by Glenn Dicterow of the New York Philharmonic during a ceremony aboard the aircraft carrier.

Not only is the Austria of Maria Theresa examined, but fascinating views appear of Prussian opponents and French, Swedish and Russian armies. A neglected housewife makes an unexpected friend at a nursing home, where she hears a true tale about an independent woman in 1920s Alabama, who ran the town diner, served food to people of color and protected her sister-in-law from an abusive spouse. Exploring the internal dynamics of the German Army and detailing how the soldiers coped with the many new forms of warfare, Showalter shows how the army’s institutions responded to, and how Germany itself was changed by war.
