: I have been so disappointed in Disney for changing the movie "Pearl Harbor" so it can been shown in Japan. They edited strongly to make it fit the Japanese view of this event in our history.
Absolutely!!! This is blatant revisionism, and worse, a diluting of history. Should Japan ever make a film on the bombing of Hiroshima, surely they'll make an American version ... from our point of view! There's nothing inherently wrong, mind you, in telling a tale from a particular point of view, but making a film, then reshaping it to ... well, you all know this is a pet-peeve of mine. I'll stop there!
:Also, Rich, if you have a minute could you recommend several books on Custer that I could read. Another door has opened.
Done! See link. There are MANY fine books on the subject. These are but a sampling!
