A good read but long. I can't remember much of Once An Eagle, except for this:

So, in the Libyan fable it is told That once an eagle, stricken with a dart, Said, when he saw the fashion of the shaft, "With our own feathers, not by others' hand Are we now smitten."

I thought Sam Elliot was excellent in the mini series. I looked out for his next work.

Reminds me of Lincoln and his address to the Young Mens Lyceum and how we were destined to live through all time a nation of freemen,or die by suicide.”
