Sharpe's command : Richard Sharpe and the Bridge at Almaraz, May 1812 / by Cornwell, Bernard,author.;
If any man can do the impossible it's Richard Sharpe ... And the impossible is exactly what the formidable Captain Sharpe is asked to do when he's sent on an undercover mission to a small village in the Spanish countryside, far behind enemy lines. For the quiet, remote village, sitting high above the Almaraz bridge, is about to become the centre of a battle for the future of Europe. Two French armies march towards the bridge, one from the North and one from the South. If they meet, the British are lost. Only Sharpe's small group of men -- with their cunning and courage to rely on -- stand in their way. But they're rapidly outnumbered, enemies are hiding in plain sight, and as the French edge ever closer to the frontline, time is running out.

Navy SEALs [videorecording] : their untold story / by Fleisher, Carol L.; Sinise, Gary,narrator.; Fleisherfilm, Inc.; PBS Distribution (Firm);
Narrated by Gary Sinise.Riveting Missions from WWII to the War on Terror. Despite the attention paid to the U.S. Navy SEALs (Sea, Air and Land) since their daring takedown of Osama bin Laden, few know the story of how the first U.S. Navy frogmen became the renowned warriors of today. NAVY SEALs-THEIR UNTOLD STORY details their fascinating transformation and the people who made this story happen. Discover how these clandestine commandoes morphed with evolving threats from Hitler to bin Laden. The Navy's first special warfare units date back to World War II, and, without them, much of U.S. and world history would have been written differently, from the beaches of Normandy to the Pacific theater, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Through firsthand accounts and never-before-seen footage, this unprecedented documentary recounts many of the ticking-clock missions of the "Commandoes of the Deep."E.DVD, region 1, widescreen.

Danger Zone. by Drygas, Vita,film director.; DogWoof (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Originally produced by DogWoof in 2023.In the competitive world of tourism, there are very few experiences that are out of bounds. DANGER ZONE explores the world of war tourism, catering to a growing market for ever rarer and extreme experiences. Tourists are promised frontline action, with real ammo, real battles, and real danger. War has become a luxury product, a commodity that can be bought and sold, and tour operators are desperate to get into the growing business. This morally ambiguous tourist industry leads to the collision of two very different worlds, between these thrill-seeking tourists and the people caught in the cross-hairs of conflict, who are not afforded the luxury and privilege of choice. DANGER ZONE asks: what are the tourists left with on reflection, is there a realisation of how lucky they are merely as a result of where they were born? Do those who live in conflict areas, through no choice of their own, perceive in these tourists hope for a peaceful life? Or, is it purely a one-sided interaction in which no one wins and no one learns?Mode of access: World Wide Web.
