"War Letters" on PBS Sunday Nov 11, 9 PM



Greetings all!

In case you missed it and wanted to know about it, American Experience on PBS is showing "War Letters" - based on the book by Andrew Carroll& his Legacy Project.  Mr. Carroll was the closing featured speaker at this past SAA annual meeting in DC.  He was fantastic and so his is collection of letters and project.

Taken from PBS's web site:

snip "Using the most compelling and enlightening of these missives, War Letters tells the story of American wars from the viewpoint of the men and women in the front lines.The film features breathtaking eyewitness accounts of famous battles,  intimate declarations of love, poignant last letters written only days before soldiers were killed, humorous anecdotes, gripes about insufferable conditions and many profound and memorable expressions of exhilaration, fear, whimsy, exasperation, anger, and patriotism. To highlight the universal experience of war -- the horror and loneliness, the senseless killing and terrible destruction -- War Letters intercuts letters written 200 years ago with those written in the last decade. It weaves evocative recreations of Civil War battles with moving footage of World War II amphibious assaults."
