Your welcome. I read the book many, many, many years ago. Have reread it several times. I always wanted to see the series again, but it has never been on TV that I have seen. I could never understand why they would not reshow it or put it on DVD. This guy on the web site started a campaign to get it out. I guess he finally won. It will be nice. It should sell well as I know a lot of military folks that want it, and others want too see it. I bet it will make them big bucks. Just don’t understand why it took them 30 years too put it back out. This is the first movie I saw with Sam Elliott and really liked him ever since.
Thank you for your reply. I did not read the book, just saw the TV series. I too became a big Sam Elliot fan after seeing the series. Also found I did not like the actor who played the role of Courteney Massengale (Cliff Potts). I always associacted Massengale with “douche” although the real product name is spelled a bit differently.
I had not realized the military academies require the book to be read but I certainly see why for it is an incredible treatise on leadership and how a truly good leader cares for his men.
I think now I’ll read the book and get the DVD. Thanks for posting this.
