GWYNNE DYER'S WAR

After my previous posting about writer Gywnne Dyer, I decided to bounce over to Youtube to see if anyone had uploaded any episodes of the 1983 Canadian television documentary miniseries, War.

Indeed...

The link is for the first episode, "The Road to Total War". I've noticed that a few other episodes are there... maybe the whole thing is viewable.

These are the episodes...

1. "The Road to Total War"
2. "Anybody's Son Will Do"
3. "The Profession of Arms"
4. "The Deadly Game of Nations"
5. "Keeping the Old Game Alive"
6. "Notes on Nuclear War"
7. "Goodbye War"
8. "The Knife Edge of Deterrence"


Brilliant series.

Heh. I still remember Dyer's voice-over accompanying a photo: "This is the general staff of the Allied armies in 1914. Now, these men aren't murderers; most of them aren't even stupid. They just don't know what's about to happen."

That was very funny, yes. "Anybody's Son Will Do" is the crowd-favourite -- so many classic bits.
