OF WARS, CIVIL WARS AND WORLD WARS

The futility of wars in the guise as a political solution shows its ugly head in the toll of human sacrifice and needless expense of society's wealth just to satisfy the aggression of a few and mostly for the profits made by the military industrial complex. Our times shaped us into what we are and should have this wisdom, that the best predictor of the future is the past. Those who deny the past and those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it and suffer the consequences..ASC

History Channel presents:Tora, Tora, Tora: The True Story of Pearl Harbor

The History Channel goes in-depth with this two-volume documentary Tora, Tora, Tora: The True Story of Pearl Harbor. December 7, 1941, was a tragic and surprising day for the United States. The attack on the Hawaiian island was a costly and sudden invitation to enter World War II. Archival footage and interviews make up the bulk of this release. Both American and Japanese remembrances are included for a complete history lesson. The series begins with the events leading up to the attack, especially concentrating on Admiral Yamamoto's detailed plans. Using personal testimony, the History Channel re-creates the frantic action on the ground as American soldiers scrambled for safety. Some, such as those aboard the U.S.S. Arizona, had no time to retaliate. The program concludes with a real-life reunion of soldiers from both sides. From inception to aftermath, Tora, Tora, Tora: The True Story of Pearl Harbor provides a thorough account of a day that will always live in the memory of a nation. ~ Sarah Ing, All Movie Guide.
