World War 1 - American Legacy : "World War 1 - American Legacy" vividly tells the many forgotten stories of the men and women who served in the Great War, reminding Americans of their impact on our country that can still be felt today. Charles Whittlesey of the Lost Battalion and Father Duffy of the Fighting 69th became famous for surviving against impossible odds. Pilots Victor Chapman and Quentin Roosevelt and ambulance drivers like Richard Hall made the supreme sacrifice. Writers such as E. E. Cummings, Ernest Hemingway, Joyce Kilmer and Alan Seeger were inspired by the tragedy around them. African-American soldiers like James Reese Europe and the Harlem Hell Fighters made history. Female volunteers like the "Hello Girls" and Red Cross nurses risked their lives supporting the troops and started a new era for women. From the summer of 1914 to November 1918, the Great War cost over 14 million lives, devastated entire countries and destroyed countless architectural landmarks. The war also led to important developments in literature, technology, music and social equality that have shaped the culture of 21st century America....

True Story Of Troy, The : The story of Troy is a legendary tale of adventure which has been mythologized for centuries in art, literature and more recently, epic Hollywood blockbusters. The story's characters are infamous: Helen, the beauty whose face launched a thousand ships; Achilles, the nearly invincible warrior; Hector, the valiant Trojan soldier; and Odysseus, the genius who devised the ultimate plan to destroy Troy forever. Yet, despite the fact that the Trojan War is so deeply engrained in the world's collective consciousness, many questions about the true history of Troy remain. In this exciting program, archaeologists, literary detectives, and military analysts journey to uncover evidence that mythology's greatest war - and the fabled city in which it was fought - may have actually been real. Interactive Menus, Scene Selection.

The History Boys: A Play : "A play of depth as well as dazzle, intensely moving as well as thought-provoking and funny." --"The Daily Telegraph" An unruly bunch of bright, funny sixth-form (or senior) boys in a British boys' school are, as such boys will be, in pursuit of sex, sport, and a place at a good university, generally in that order. In all their efforts, they are helped and hindered, enlightened and bemused, by a maverick English teacher who seeks to broaden their horizons in sometimes undefined ways, and a young history teacher who questions the methods, as well as the aim, of their schooling. In "The History Boys," Alan Bennett evokes the special period and place that the sixth form represents in an English boy's life. In doing so, he raises--with gentle wit and pitch-perfect command of character--not only universal questions about the nature of history and how it is taught but also questions about the purpose of education today.

Baseball: An Illustrated History by Ken Burns, ISBN 0679404597 : The authors of the acclaimed and history-making nationwide best-seller The Civil War now turn to the other defining American phenomenon. Their subject is baseball. And in words and pictures they provide the richest evocation we have ever had of the formidable institution that is our beloved national pastime, the "mere game" woven so deeply into our lives that it provides common ground for young and old, black and white, North, South, East, and West - for taxi driver and schoolteacher and president of the United States. During eight months of the year, it is played professionally every day; all year round, amateurs play it, watch it, and dream about it, losing themselves in a base runner's progress around the diamond, in the elemental clash between pitcher and batter, in the outfielder's lonely vigil. Baseball produces remarkable Americans: it seizes hold of ordinary people and shapes them into something we must regard with awe. Ty Cobb, Satchel Paige, Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Joe DiMaggio, Hank Aaron, not gods exactly, not even necessarily heroes, but truly gifted human beings acting out ...
