The Art of War

By: Filmy

Any document on war that provides an artistic sketch along with historical cues, be it depiction of strategies of the Militia, Crusades, French Resistance, Holocaust, Civil Wars, Cold War, Berlin War, Partitions, Court Martials, the aftermath or just a pile of severed limbs or even Mythological Battles – all welcome here.
