L'8 Maggio 1945 fu un momento decisivo nella storia mondiale. La lotta contro le forze della Germania nazista viene ricostruita in questo documentario attraverso le immagini riprese dai fotoreporters sui campi di battaglia. Ogni azione è mostrata come realmente avvenne nelle drammatiche sequenze ricostruite, che si conclusero con la vittoria delle forze alleate. Le strategie degli attacchi e delle difese sono descritte in forma critica ed autorevole e sono illustrate da grafici computerizzati.

Bob Hunter, a former sports columnist at Thurber's old paper, The Columbus Dispatch, takes a detailed look at Thurber's life in Columbus and the stories it inspired in “Thurberville”.
In 48 relatively short chapters, Hunter writes about the people. places and things from Columbus that later showed up in his writing, usually fictionalized, but not by much. These include family members, boyhood friends, girlfriends, professors and fellow students at Ohio State and people he worked with in his newspaper career before he fled to New York City, joined the staff at The New Yorker and became famous.

“Thurberville” manages to be a full biography of the great American humorist, arguably second only to Mark Twain. It takes us from birth to death, but even though much of that life was lived in New York and Paris, Columbus always remained its center. And it lies at the center of Hunter's book as well.
Hunter includes a few photographs in his book, but far too few. What the book really lacks is a map of Columbus showing readers exactly where the many homes where the Thurber family lived were located, as well as the locations of the other places mentioned. I am fairly familiar with Columbus, having been there many, many times, but even so I couldn't place houses, hotels, parks, etc., with simply an address as a guide.… (mais)
