BookTV/C-Span2 weekends ^ | 8-3-08 | (BookTV/C-Span2 staff)

[VOA]

This is a TV-headsup...set your DVRs for midnight EASTERN 8-4-08...
(that's when Sunday turns into Monday!).

I watched the first airing of this long interview (approx. 3 hours)
of Col. Ralph Peters (US Army, ret.) at 11AM Eastern today.
I recommend it for anyone interested in The War on Terror,
military intelligence, history, politics, the US military
and the craft of writing.

I will post the BookTV summation of the show in a
soon-to-follow post on this thread.

TV heads-up for the re-broadcast of a lengthy interview with
essayist/author Col. Ralph Peters (US Army, ret.)

IMHO, it's required viewing especially for young people that
might need to be exposed to a fellow that's made a career with
a 22-year hitch in The U.S. Army and as a craftsman-like
writer/columnist.
Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum of either total
agreement out to total disagreement with Col. Peters.
