Ep. 0068: 71: A Dangerous History Movie Review
Join CJ as he discusses:
- A basic outline of the movies historical context — ie, the Northern Irish “Troubles” which occurred from the 1960s through the 1990s
- A basic synopsis summary (without much detail on the second half of the movie, in an effort to avoid too much plot spoilage)
- CJ’s assessment of the film and discussion of some of its major themes that are related to Dangerous History
External Links
- A 1989 article in the Marine Corps Gazette that was (as far as I know) the first published explanation of “Fourth Generation Warfare” or 4GW
- A 2004 Antiwar.com article by William Lind (one of the authors of the ’89 article) in which he revisits the concept of 4GW
On the topic of Irish history I highly recommend movie: The Wind That Shakes the Barley. Its long but it’s oh so good.
Yeah, I agree, it’s a good one.
