Trying to find Restrepo in New Orleans.

The book WAR was amazing and should be a mandatory read for all US citizens. I am trying to find out if the movie RESTREPO will be shown nationwide and released on DVD?

As I read through WAR, a great read, the names of those who were about to die were already familiar; from documentation of all casualties in both Iraq and Afghanistan. It made the reading of WAR even more intense.

CAPTIVE by Jere Van Dyk

If you want to read an AMAZING book, check out Captive, by Jere Van Dyk (Henry Holt, 2010.) The book was just released...Van Dyk tried to walk across the border into Pakistan and use his old contacts among the Mujehadin to report on the Taliban.
