If your like me and love war movies/history this book is a fantastic find! Its big, beautiful, well written with tons of 'tidbits' of info about hundreds & hundreds of films I've seen and own and others I will seek out as a result of this book . It has some surprising omissions (no Gettysburg?) but that picky note aside if you love Guns of Navarone, The Longest Day etal you will love this book. Plus, look at the bio of the Author who has a resume of achievement that will blow your mind.
