Music plays a crucial role in the plot of this movie, so it certainly helps to have such an accomplished composer as Isham to back it up.

It is spoiled in its description of the actual fighting by frequent descents into flippant asides and 'witty' reflections. There wasn't a bad actor in the whole production but Ethan Kai as the taciturn, unhappy Frank stood out for me.

Detailed accounts of troops and Field Marshals leading up to the war and all of the major battles, personal struggles of the troops in combat, effects of the vast amount of weaponry used for the first time in such a war, and it goes into some of the politics of the war that led to its end. Her army had stood by her then, and was now trying desperately to improve, as it had to face Frederick the Great, the master-soldier of the era. Showalter surveys an army at the heart of a national identity, driven by - yet also defeated by - warfare in the modern age, that struggled to capitalize on its victories, and ultimately forgot the lessons of its defeat.

Now behind German barbed wire and oppression, Cline and his fellow POWs must find a way to bond together to not just survive but transcend their captivity. Now behind Nazi barbed wire, Cline and his fellow POWs must find a way to not just survive but to transcend their captivity. This is due in part to the musical magic powers of Mark Isham, whose work you may have heard in countless soundtracks including A River Runs Through It and October Sky.

The army provides an important view of 18th Century Bohemia, Hungary, Croatia, Lombardy, Belgium and Austria.

With her exciting trilogy, Rebecca has firmly established New Zealand as a location for contemporary fantasy, not just Middle Earth!

Of course, Showalter could have included much more, but that is not the point of this work (he has written much on the army of the Kaiserreich and I'd recommend his other books for a more granular perspective).

Obviously no large orchestral recitals would take place here, but individuals or small groups of musicians would try to lighten the gloom. The entire ensemble of Instrument of War is solid throughout, though one must give the strongest kudos to Jack Ashton for a performance that captures both the harrowing nature of his surroundings and the seemingly undefeatable human spirit that Cline must've possessed.
