War Movie Titles and Books
Here is a list of possible movie titles and books you might like to check out over the Christmas Break. You are not expected to write a report -- that ruins the watching/reading experience. However, I will expect that you will truthfully watch/read at least one of the items from the list, and be ready to discuss in January. Enjoy -- this could be an 'escapist' way to learn more about this topic and expand your knowledge... even if some of them are Hollywood movies!
