This question struck me today for the following reason. You see, I was fortunate enough to be living in France when that country celebrated the 50th anniversary of D-day. For weeks leading up to the festivities, the coverage highlighted the brave sacrifices of each component of the landing force, transforming French TV into the History channel, and mixing known facts with uniquely individual stories of heroism that most would have thought forgotten by all but the families who experienced them. Given the propensity for bashing everything French, it would not surprise me if Americans didn't believe that as producers they overplayed their role in the affair, but they would be wrong. They were both honest and critical about the small part they played.

"Diverse and stable?" I say we test that theory right now! Read More
