To End All Wars

Tonight I saw what must now be my favorite War movie. From Wikipedia:

To End All Wars, (formerly entitled Miracle on the River Kwai)[1] is the autobiography of Ernest Gordon and recounts the experiences of faith and hope of the men held in a Japanese prisoner of war labour camp, building the Burma Railway during the last three and a half years of World War II.

It is an amazing narration of true events from the perspective of an Irish soldier--an Argyle, and his band of brothers, and all torments of mind, body, and soul that occur in their POW camp. It merges the powerful themes of Justice and Mercy, Vengeance and Forgiveness, War and Peace, Friend and Enemy. They draw on the teachings/writings of Plato, Jesus, and Shakespeare. It really is powerful. I highly recommend it. Maybe even as a small group discussion resource.
