I know that some of those images were probably pretty gruesome. One of the reasons i show that to you is to give you a sense of what that concept, total war means. Dont care what war we are talking about, it is never a simply simply about two armies fighting one another on a battlefield. It is all encompassing. I think the video probably helped to show that. It gives you an opportunity to see, and i think the newsreels and things, images on there, give you an opportunity to see what that was like. What the beginning of world war ii was like in europe, specifically, and of course in japan as well. Remember, the beginning of the semester, i told you guys my mantra. I dont know if you remember. It is all about perspective. That is how i teach. That is how i teach history. That is my mantra when it comes to my own research and scholarships. It is all about perspectives.

When i talk to you about that at the beginning of the semester, i used world war ii as an example to illustrate that. We will come back to that. The images you saw from the battlefield and from the bombings in europe, that is one perspective. If all you do is see the video, if all you do is hear the stories of the infantryman who were on the beaches in normandy.
