The Anderson Platoon

Film Review by Dean Duncan Jun 29, 2015

This material was obviously gathered under great duress, and at a great cost. All sorts of terrible things, including terror itself, hover at the edges of the frame, and often enough they enter right in. In other words there’s a very good reason for all of the ellipses and unclarities. But it’s really elliptical, to the point that unclear, even ineffective, is what you come away with.

We should honour documents like these, and subscribe to them as well. But it’s also good to know the availability of a (great!) number of more helpful sources about this particular conflict, and of others like it.
