Osborne's nineteenth-century American romance is more traditionally romantic. Wealthy young Juliette March is searching for her missing husband. When she stops at an inn run by Clara Klaus, she discovers that the robust German is wearing a wedding ring identical to hers, and indeed, they've married the same scoundrel.

In Black Hawk Down, the fight went on for a day. In We Were Soldiers Once & Young, the fighting lasted three days. In The Village, one Marine squad fought for 495 days — half of them died.

This is the story of fifteen resolute young Americans matched against two hundred Viet Cong; how a CAP lived, fought and died. And why the villagers remember them to this day. Views: 23
