pieces Jigsaw Puzzle Notre Cathedral Fun but frail
Fun but frail This was our first 3D puzzle and it was a lot of fun to put together. It took us probably about 810 hours of focused work and the final result was surprisingly attractive. For a model made of foam pieces it looks pretty good and fits together well. The one negative is that it is still a model made of foam pieces so it is frail and does not fit together well at all connections so it comes apart fairly easily a younger kid might have trouble not breaking parts of it while trying to put it together. However overall we were extremely satisfied and would definitely buy more of these.

Worlds Wonder Pyramid Puzzle Miller Fun puzzle but a little tough for kids
3D pyramid I would suggest a pyramid form to hold the pieces up while putting it together and holding it once it is together. The center of the 4 sides kept caving in. Now while it's together the sides still sink in.The corners don't lock together very well either. I wouldn't purchase another puzzle like this.
Puzzle I purchased this for my 9 year old grand daughter. It was a little difficult but we worked on it and it turned out very nice.
Fun puzzle but a little tough for kids The puzzle was fun but a little hard for my step daughters.granted they are below the recommended age because they are 8 and 11. We finished it though and the kids were impressed with the finished project. Plus I liked the educational fun facts on the base.

Street Without Joy Indochina Stackpole Lessons not Learnt
Execllent To understand the Vietnam War or any war this book should be a must read. Why didn't our leaders of that time do so remains a mystery to me.
Soldiers and a lost war My favorite book on the war in Indochina. I read this book or rather I studied it when I was twenty years old and a cadet at the Argentine Military Academy. It was my instructor's favorite book and it immediately became my favorite one too. A book that has everything history tactics teachings and even romantic scenes as the one in which the author sadly realizes they are going to lose the war.
This book is ALL JOY! This is a superb book that deals exclusively with the history of the early years in Vietnam and briefly in Laos. While the focus of Street Without Joy is on a French campaign between Hue and Quang Tri it covers other significant activities of the First IndoChina War. Dr. Fall one of the few correspondents with access to records of both sides opens with the War's beginning offers an extremely factual account of the early setpiece battles such as Vinh Yen Lorraine Hoa Binh and continues with an excellent analysis of the epic struggle at Dien Bien Phu. His description of the planning and execution of the campaign along Highway 1 addresses intelligence logistics weather terrain and employment of amphibious and airborne forces close air support and commander's intent. Readers will have no difficulty in following the flow of the battle and those lessons learned by the French commanders would be well worth filing away in one's personal notebook. Unquestionably one of the book's strengths is Fall's final chapter on the future of revolutionary war a chapter that may have been overlooked by those that planned and directed the Second IndoChina War. This is definitely a book worth reading and rereading by all military personnel.
A fantastic read about Indochina A great read about the daily horrors faced by the French forces in Indochina.I thought I'd read most of what was written about the horrors that were faced daily by the French army and later the Americans but this book told me things that I'd never read before. The pure unadulterated and pointless misery of the French soldiers. The inevitable idiocy of the generals who were no shining examples of military brilliance. Packed with great insights that I discovered from reading this book. Why did the Americans not read this before they went 'in country'? Very highly recommended.
Lessons not Learned I read this book while at the US Naval postgraduate School in Monterey CA in 1965. At 26 I honestly thought we the USA could do better than the French had done in SE Asia but my time participating in my generations' war convinced me that despite our questionable good intentions these kinds of wars are not militarily winnableyou win battles but lose the war. I concluded that we had learned the lessons of history after our withdrawal and saddened by the loss life and wounds mental and physical to those who were there on both sides I got on with my life. Guess whathubris knows no bounds and doesn't learn from history. I guess that the old saying Nothing is impossible for those that don't have to do it is more true than I ever believed. We did it again and again and once again policy makers found the set of military leadership who would go along with them. This book should be read by every person in a policy leadership role in Congress or any administrationone can only hope they heed the lessons contained in it.
Not another book over Vietnam Really good book about the First Vietnam war one that tends to be overlapped by the Second one and the massive intervention of USForces. Very well written by a journalist who witnessed the development of the war covers all the french period of the war. A must for anyone interested in Nam war either french or american phase.
Lessons not Learnt Though written from a time and a viewpoint that may seem quaint by todays standards the honest prose of this book shines. Fall has an understanding of the suffering of the average man in this book that he is able to counterplay against the wider strategic view of IndoChina in the 60s.The most interesting aspect of this book is Fall's ability to read the future a forecast future Streets Without Joy for the US in Vietnam.
Intoduction to the Indochina War First I suppose I am somewhat biased because I knew Bernie Fall. I liked his book in the early 60s when I was required to read it and we officers on the way to Vietnam had discussions about the book and what we had each gotten out of it and how we might have done things differently. When Bernie was writing it was then popular to refer to the communists about every third or fourth word or to call the Chinese Red Chinese as a perfectly natural figure of speech. Throughout the book he refers to the Viet Minh as communist when in fact some were and some were not. I think Bernie may have been a little prejudiced and he does write from the perspective of the near side our side etc. However his book is an excellent setup for what happens later and he sometimes inadvertently points out that we did not learn one damned thing from what the French learned before us. We get pinned downthe Viet Minh seldom ever do we still have not learned how to avoid the 100 vehicle strung out on hairpin switchback ambush which the Viet Minh continued to use to perfection we still allow the terrain to channel us or stop us while the Viet goes anywhere he wants in whatever direction it might be to do whatever he chooses to do. It was amazing while it went on and it is all covered in this book. This is an excellent book into how a guerrilla thinks plans and moves and what you should plan for. This book is essential to the survival of one not exposed to this form of behavior in the past. Dr Fall was killed while on patrol continuing his work for us. This a keeper book that you must have for you library. Please do not miss it.
books Excellent book. Recommend it to all readers of Vietnam history. This is a ONE OF A KIND I served in Vietnam and this book showed the same mistakes America usedbut on a different scale. Eye opening.
Unfortunately We Did Go Down This Street! Back in the early 1960s someone should have given our American politicians Bernard Fall's book titled Street Without Joy. Unbeknownst to me I traveled down the street without joy nine years after this book was written. This street is Highway 1 which follows through the Hai Van Pass running almost parallel to the South China Sea on its way to Da Nang and further South. It is an area of Southeast Asia which has seen some of the bloodiest conflicts of the FrenchIndo China War and later the Vietnam War when there was the American presence. It is also rather ironic that the author met his demise in 1967 travelling as his native language would describe the road as la rue sans joie when his American Marine jeep hit a land mine. What Bernard Fall has done in this very detailed and comprehensive study of the military strategies and tactics used by both the French and VietMinh is to show that wars of revolution cannot be won with standard conventional European military protocol. Mr. Fall paints a broad canvas which he shows how the VietMinh methodically and very patiently won this long war of attrition. He shows a proud and determined French Army made up of an eclectic group of military professionals from the basic French National Army to the French Foreign Legion to the Vietnamese faithful to Colonial France. What struck me as almost medieval was how the French chose to combat the VietMinh. Up in Northern Vietnam were a string of French forts made up of primarily concrete pill boxes that had interlocking fields of fire and were primary targets for local VietMinh militia and also for crack units roaming the Red River Delta. During the FrenchIndo China War the French did not have access to the mobility of helicopters. What they did have were mobile units utilizing gun trucks trying to travel through the rough road system that existed in Vietnam in the mid 20th century. Mr. Fall describes the major engagements between the French forces and the VietMinh. The most haunting of these engagements was the utter destruction of the French Mobile Force G100. This unit had two battalions which had fought alongside the American Indianhead 2nd Infantry Division in Korea. These veterans were hardcore combat infantrymen who were very experienced. As this force was going down highway 19 toward Pleiku the author describes how the VietMinh 803rd destroyed this proud unit piecemeal. The author shows how the strategies and tactics of the VietMinh were ultimately not to be defeated by the French Army.

Infantry Attacks Erwin Rommel Rommel on Infantry
Infantry Attacks Wonderful! Infantry Attacks is a very good read very tough to put down. Rommel gives the reader a personal view of command that is rare in books about WWI. His compassion for his men and his icy cold view of battle combine into a very compelling account of his early learning curve. Highly recommended.
Crisp informative and wellwritten Worm'seye view of infantry combat in the First World War. Rommel's tactical boldness has applications beyond military improvisation training and determination are easy to glean from this work.
Rommel on Infantry Rommel on InfantryErwin Rommel wrote this book originally titled Infanterie Greift An Infantry Attacks in which he examined and analyzed the many battles he fought in during First World War. It was published in 1937 and became essential reading for both German and allied commanders during World War II. Recounting his First World War experiences and lessons learned Rommel does for tactics in Infantry Attacks what Manstein did for operations and campaigns in
Infantry Excellence I purchased Rommel's book because of its historical significance expecting a dry military reference. I am delighted to report that 'Infanterie Greift An' is far more than that. Rommel was in fact quite a story teller probably recognizing that a book of exciting infantry action would sell far better to a general audience than a dry tract on military tactics. If there is any doubt of this there are Rommel's letters to his wife while he was fighting in the desert in World War II. Time and again he asks her how the sales of his book are going. A military tract would have a small limited audience. Rommel clearly hoped for a broader readership.If anyone else were telling such amazing tales of military adventure and success I would suspect considerable embellishment and outright lies. In Rommel's case however judging by the awarding of the 'Pour Le Merit' and his future performance in the deserts of North Africa it is obvious that Rommel is reporting the facts exactly as he sees them.His success is all the more remarkable when we recognize how young Rommel was. He started the Great War at 22 or 23 and during his amazing success against the Roumanians and especially the Italians he could have been no older than 25 or 26. Even then Rommel was the very picture of military aggression and calculation. He is never satisfied to rest triumphantly on a captured position. He always considers the best possibilities of discomfiting the enemy still further.His is a study of military stealth and subterfuge. If conditions warrant he is quite capable of a calculated charge into fire. Usually however he is able to determine less dangerous oftentimes more effective options. Pin the enemy down on one flank and then using his main force advance far into his rear even if such an advance should entail incredible exertion and heroism on the part of his obviously superb troops. It is better to sweat than to bleed. Of course Rommel's confidence in the quality of his soldatens' training and courage is a major component in Rommel's success. Time and again his relatively few soldiers capture huge numbers of enemy troops and mountains of material with relatively low casualties to themselves or the enemy.The last sentences of his book are an indirect criticism of headquarters macrotactics and strategy. He is 'PeterPrincipled' and taken from the front where he has been a devastating success and turned into a staff officer where his contribution is definitionally less impressive. He complains that his 'own' magnificent mountain troopstroops he lead against the Roumanians and Italiansare done to death in pointless trench warfare in France.In reading Rommel's book of WW I infantry and mountain troop action we recognize that much of Rommel's excellence is due to some freedom and independence of action an area in which Rommel clearly excelled.
Rommel infantry Book arrived in great condition. It was a little hard to read at times and I am a big war buff. Lots of interesting facts and ideas. not a bad book just not great.
Not JUST a Tanker! While Erwin Rommel is justly famed for his ability to conduct armored warfare his introduction to combat operations took place in the First World War as an Infantry Commander. More specifically Rommel gained great experience and was a primary innovator in the field of MOUNTAIN warfare not only in the Alps against the French and Italians but also in the Balkans as well. As such he developed and exemplified the tactics and methods necessary to deal with enemy forces in a realm which not only included the usual two dimensions of land battle but the VERTICAL aspect as well.
Don't by this one in particular. I'm not sure about this one but a lot of infantry Attacks are just reprints of the hastily translated version with parts missing and sections cut that might embarrass the Allies printed in 1944.Attacks published by Athena press went back and translated the original book and isn't missing any maps or drawings it is also a lot better laid out.It is called 'Attacks' and not 'Infantry Attacks' and is also available on Amazon.But review wise on 'Attacks' that i am reading right now Five Starts and a half. Rommel inspires me and it is a great read.
Great insight Bearing in mind that1 The pictures on the front are of wwii stuff while this book is about wwi Why??2 Rommel fought on the evil side in not just one but two world wars3 He sounds like a notverynice chap4 It's obvious that there's a bit of self promotion going on hereI highly recommend this book. The man was clearly a military genius and I think this book gives you a bit of an insight into that. As an avid reader of military history and a wargamer I was inspired by this.Perhaps an interesting compare and contrast would be Slim's Defeat into victory

Saw VI Blu ray Shawnee Smith collectors must have
![Saw VI [Blu-ray]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vDVI-1bHJUWRWk1uq2SFmBDXoowlPU3xWk3zISsqUMm6GQeUzoYrjJ_STpFhzCjMCfYKzbrOmv-uyghi7ezyA3PeA1ed-Thp01MSPnrPb_VEuk-8svVkqEhokpL8Cvg6GnKA=s0-d)
Packed with a little more Horror than the previous entry. They kind of go back to the horror element of the series in this movie but by now the Saw series has just been beat to death. More traps more victims more of the same game. As long as the name keeps making money then Hollywood will keep making them.
great movie i personally love the saw movies this movie was great got here quick was affordable and was in brand new condition when i got it.
beautiful I'm not going to write a very long review but Saw VI was a very good film in my opinionit had a nice continuation of the plot that didn't feel like they were just squeezing it out to get another movie.I don't know if this is in the description or not but something that one should know is that this also comes with the orginal Saw. So if you're looking to buy the whole collection you can kill two birds with one stone and buy this and save yourself the extra few bucks to buy the first Saw.
Ok guys. . .this has got to be my favorite Saw! I've seen all the Saw movies and own them allexcept Saw 7. I'm watching Saw 6 right now and let me tell you it's gotta be my favorite. If you're a Saw fan I think you'll understand when you see it. Mr. Easton. . sorry to say he deserved all of that. . . I'm so enjoying this movie right now and I had to put it on pause just to write my review. I read the reviews from Saw fans and I have to say a personal thank you because they were right. Saw 6 is a great addition to my collection and trust me it will be the mostwatched.My review in a nutshell If you have any doubts about this being a lame sequel forget about it. .
Best SAW Film Since 3 Agent Peter Stahm Scott Patterson and Mark Hoffman Costas Mandylor are in a trap the walls closed in and crushed Peter but Mark was in the glass box trap and survived. It continues exactly where 5 left off. SAW VI is a more graphic violent and intense followup to SAW V. It's definitely the most intense SAW film to date and it has one of the best plots of the series. William Easton Peter Outerbridge a health insurance executive talks with his company's attorney Debbie Caroline Cave about Harold Abbott George Newbern who died from an illness after his insurance policy was revoked due to an application discrepancy. He is kidnapped from his office that night.
Saw VI WOW!!! For a sixth sequel to come out and be revitalizing and wellmade is a rare in any franchise. The story behind William Easton and his health insurance company was well paced. Hoffman continues to be on the run and brutal as ever when the FBI draws closer to him. Jill reveals what is inside the box left behind by her late husband John Kramer. Jill discovers a relalation behind a letter that was found at the crime scene of her late husband which leads to the climatic ending. Williams story drives to your emotions at times when he is forced to make a choice between who lives and who dies with his associates. But his situation is no different to those he himself puts others when denying clients of their health coverage or even getting a foot through the door. We all diserve to fight for our lives no matter what illness or ailment someone may have. John Kramer clearly found Williams theory to be wrong and a disadvantage for any person who seeks help. Saw VI is clearly tied with Saw I and III in terms of material and story. A definite recommendation to any Saw fan.
ProductExcellent Condition Not so great This movie is really excellent. In fact all of the Saw movies are innovative and genius! I was surprised when I realized that it came with a copy of the original movie. The only problem with the product was that when I received it the prongs to hold the dvd were broken so the case can now only hold one of the two DVDs.
A little disapointed The movie was great don't get me wrong. What I was disappointed with was the fact that the movie was in 2D but boasted 3D with the title screen. I figured the company could have taken a few seconds to remove the 3D from the title screens. Otherwise was a great movie and tied things in the Saw world together. This movie would have worked in anaglyph but I guess it is geared towred people spending 34 grand on tv's. Sad.
collectors must have if you are an avid fan of the saw movies. this is a must have for your collection.saw vi will keep you riveted to your seats.
AMAZING!

Sanctum Two Disc Blu ray 3D Combo Guilty Fun
A failure ****** SPOILERS ******This movie had temporary potential in the very beginning but just went downhill. The dialogue was cliche and plot predictable. The characters made unrealistic decisions that lead to their deaths. Idiocy spread like the raging water that filled the caves. I was surprised all the females died because usually a female always makes it out alive with the surviving hero or the female herself is the lone survivor. However all the females in Sanctum were idiots and didn't deserve to survive. I felt more people should have survived. I think if they threw a supernatural element into the story it could have gone way further given the location and plot. On the pros side the sets and locations were nice.I'm happy I didn't pay to see this in theaters or heaven forbid buy it.
sanctum i did not purchase this video.it waspurchased by someone i do not even know.you say it was david roxburgh.i would like to sent it back but i do not know where to send it.
Fun on home theater but otherwise meh. I wanted something visually dramatic and actionpacked to enjoy in escapist bigscreen Bluray glory on a Friday night and that's exactly what I got here but I can't say the movie was particularly good. I found myself disliking all of the characters and thinking that this dour bunch really took the fun out of exploring an amazing cave system. If you aren't watching this on an HD home theater system don't bother.
LOVE THIS MOVIE This is a great movie. There is no Hollywood monster but it is terrifying unless extremely deep water and not being able to breathe doesn't frighten you?. It is based on a true story and you really wonder what on earth possesses these people to want to go several miles down under water to explore an unknown cave? But it is very interesting the acting is believable the ending is good. I have actually watched this movie a couple of times.
Odious Morality WARNING SPOILERS. Everything about this movie seemed so cliche to me. The boy who chafes at his father's rules. The crusty explorer. Oh please. What disturbed me the most though was the casual morality involved. There was not one but TWO instances of mercy killing. The strings swelled at the second one. What heartbreak! What pathos! No what heartless cruelty. And then another death involved a suicide for the good of the others of course. What nonsense. I simply could not get past the odious morality on display.
Spectacular!
great movie pop corn time I dont know why people are saying this is a bad movie.I found it a great movie to watch.so much so i bought 2 duds and one blu ray.But maybe someone is paying them to say this.
Guilty Fun Hey what can I say its enjoyable at a certain level. Its not a really deep picture but you knew that already. Nice photography and locations and the acting is fine. You will appreciate it more if you don't compare it to the other classic underwater pictures. Instead just sit back and let it wash over you. Pure guilty fun.
Shame on you James Cameron It's generally a good sign that when a big name producer/director is tagged to a movie with a Presents or Produced by line that something is amiss. Shame on Cameron for this pathetic marketing grab. I cannot fathom how this man felt this movie would help his reputation.Sanctum is a terrible movie experience. I found nothing redeeming in this mishmash of movie cliches and horrible wastes of money.1. The acting is atrocious.
Edge of your seat suspense I really enjoyed this film. The cinematography was very well done with some breathtakingly gorgeous underwater cave scenes. The dialog was quite bad at times but it got the job done. The ubermastercaveexplorer role was a bit overdone overacted and the actor reprised his role a bit from his part in Jurassic Park as the grisly uberhunter. He's good in these kinds of roles.
