Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: too many trees, too little forest Review: Gilbert covers the War on all fronts, but his interpretation of the material is either weak or non-existent. He devotes as much space to a pigeon receiving a medal as he does to Foch. Some analysis of the social, political, & above all the technology & science of the War would have been helpful in understanding the carnage. He portrays the War in a vacuum. Gilbert seems unsure of his audience. Historians looking for explanation would not be satisfied. The general public would be hard pressed to find a theme, other than slaughter, & consequently would be wading through a repetitious mass of facts with only the names of the battles changing. The book is very helpful for collectors of ancedotes and perhaps trivia. A few more maps of the battlefields would have been handy. Tuchman, & even Taylor, give a far more challenging picture.

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: can't hear a thing!!! Review: this dual disc format prevents many older cd and dvd players from reading the music on the discs. i hate to say it, but who but a mostly older generation with older equipment is really interested in folk and traditional american music. i bought the cd/dvd the other night and have not been able to listen to it on anything but my 10 year old daughters sony walkman. i think the concept is great but the delivery is much to be desired.i think that maybe some of these should be released so that all equipment can read iti think somebody screwed up!!!!
