My review of the movie Michael Collins staring Liam Neeson in the title role is available at Amazon.com here.
Always remember with movies like this that they are not a substitute for the actual history. If you want history , read history, if you want movies watch movies.
January 30 2005 Instapundit:
Reader Peter Ingemi, meanwhile, offers a prediction:
I’m remembering the coy saying about the French resistance. “If everyone who claimed to be in the resistance really had been, there would have been nobody left to collaborate.”
I make the following prediction: In 20 or 25 years (it might not even take that long) all the people who where saying that the war was wrong and Iraq was wrong will talk about how America brought democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan and how they were a part of it due to their protests and desire for democracy and the end of tyranny. (of course they will not mention that the tyranny that they meant was us.) If the same people who write the current history books write them again be sure that this will happen.
Heh. Yeah, just like everybody pulled together during the Cold War.

“They’ll tell you I’m one of the worst ones that comes in there,” said Harrison, now retired and living in Woodbridge, Va., where he also deals with high blood pressure, diabetes and slew of aches from injuries to his back, knees, hip and shoulder. “Sometimes I don’t even remember my name.”

Give me Baseball any day. (only a couple of months to go!)
My 2006 review of Kate O’Bernie’s book Women Who Make the World Worse: and How Their Radical Feminist Assault Is Ruining Our Schools, Families, Military, and Sports is available at Amazon.com here.
My initial review of this book was edited down by Amazon. I’ve made a tweak or two and re-saved it.
A lot of books like this drop in price after release, this one is available for only $2.51! For that price you should be able to buy a couple of copies and give one to a friend or a local school. I loaned out my copy to Annie DiMartino and never got it back so maybe I’ll pick up another one here.
