10 Extraordinary Acts Of Compassion In Wartime
Regular readers of Listverse’s sister site will already be familiar with the story of Henry Tandey, a World War I British soldier who honorably decided not to fire on a wounded enemy soldier only for that soldier to turn out to be a young Adolf Hitler. But the tale’s twist shouldn’t be allowed to obscure just how noble Tandey’s actions were. Compassion is a quality that is usually hard to come by in times of war. It’s even harder to show it to the enemy. After all, how can you be kind to someone who might actively have tried to kill you? Maybe that’s why compassion is truly a quality we can all admire.

Touching the Void) with a more uneven track record in narrative features (
The Last King of Scotland is probably strongest among them), and this legal procedural remains strangely flat, despite its star power and a gripping central performance from Tahar Rahim as Slahi. An unimpeachably well-intentioned treatment of a dark chapter in American justice, it’s methodical and serious-minded to a fault.
A politically charged legal thriller with only an intermittent pulse.
