Summary

In "The Adventures of a Revolutionary Soldier," Joseph Plumb Martin provides an intimate and compelling first-hand account of the American Revolutionary War. Written in diary format, this work captures the raw experiences of a common soldier, detailing the hardships of camp life, the horrors of battle, and the everyday realities faced by those who fought for independence. Martin's narrative style is remarkably accessible and imbued with a sense of humor and frankness that makes this crucial moment in American history both relatable and vivid. The memoir serves not only as a historical document but also as a reflection on the human condition amidst the chaos of war, offering invaluable insights into the life of an American soldier in the late 18th century. Joseph Plumb Martin, born in 1760, enlisted in the Continental Army at just 15 years of age. His experiences, spanning from the Siege of Boston to the Valley Forge winter, provide a unique perspective shaped by his own trials and observations. Martin's commitment to preserving the truth of his experiences sheds light on the valor and struggles of the ordinary soldier, highlighting the often-overlooked narrative within the broader context of revolutionary history. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in American history, military studies, or personal narratives of resilience. Martin's engaging storytelling not only educates but also evokes empathy, making it a vital read for those seeking to understand the American Revolutionary War through the eyes of one who lived it.

    Say Hello to My Little Friend -...

    When Brian DePalma's operatically violent and profane Scarface debuted in 1983, the film drew almost as much fire as the relentless gunfire in the film itself. The movie was a remake of 1932's Scarface—revamped for a new era of drugs, sex, and graphic violence. Attacked as both a celebration of cocaine-fueled excess and a condemnation of it, the film's reputation only grew as the years went by. But the real story of its success started nearly a century ago—when Hollywood first fell in love with the American gangster . . . 
 
 
 
Hollywood's infatuation with money, power, and organized crime has captured the public's imagination and made Scarface one of its most enduring modern myths. From a 1912 gangster film by D. W. Griffith to the 1932 hit Scarface starring Paul Muni, to Brian DePalma's 1983 shocker, the antihero's rise and fall exposes the dark side of the American Dream—whether it's Prohibition Era bootleggers or modern-day drug dealers. When actor Al Pacino got the idea of doing a remake of Scarface after screening the original, a legend was (re)born—and the rest is history. With guns blazing and chainsaws whirring, movie biz writer Nat Segaloff tears into this pop culture phenomenon with fascinating insights, stunning revelations, and a true fan's glee. This is a must-listen book for movie buffs, crime lovers, and culture vultures everywhere.
