Eisenhower and Churchill: The Partnership That Saved the WorldAlthough born and raised more than an ocean apart, Dwight Eisenhower and Winston Churchill the two titans of the greatest generation led remarkably parallel lives whose paths would intersect during history's most harrowing days. Through their youth, education, and military training, both men experienced similar triumphs and failures that shaped their lives, though they met only for the first time upon the eve of war in 1941. Eisenhower and Churchill
Although born and raised more than an ocean apart, Dwight Eisenhower and Winston Churchill--the two titans of the greatest generation--led remarkably parallel lives whose paths would intersect during history's most harrowing days. Through their youth, education, and military training, both men experienced similar triumphs and failures that shaped their lives, though they met only for the first time upon the eve of war in 1941.Eisenhower and Churchill tells the magnificent story of these two great leaders and their exemplary partnership in war and peace. Through enlivened pages and fascinating anecdotes, author James C. Humes illuminates the human side of each man, who had more in common with each other than a world war. You'll discover the extraordinary stories of how both were born to domineering mothers and failed fathers, both did not qualify for the military academy on the first try, both were traumatized by experiences in World War I, both were talented writers, and both lost a child in the very same year (1921). Remarkably, each man did not warm to the other at first; but as they worked together, their respect for one another grew to become a powerful friendship that lived long after the echoes of war had receded into the past.
As allies, they shared a hatred for tyranny and led the world through the greatest war of the twentieth century. As friends, they shared a sense of trust and cooperation that should be raised as a standard. Containing new research and memorable insights, Eisenhower and Churchill brings to life the two lions of the twentieth centruy.
"Who would not welcome an intimate book about Churchill and Eisenhower, and who is better situated to write it than Professor Humes, who knew them both, and studiously--and ardently--records their careers and their friendship?"
--William F. Buckley Jr.
"James C. Humes's Eisenhower and Churchill is a wonderful dual biography laced with lively anecdotes, engaging prose, and shrewd analysis. A truly welcome addition to our growing literature on the Second World War."
--Douglas Brinkley, professor of history and director of the Eisenhower Center, University of New Orleans From the Hardcover edition.

Entrance to Fellini Heaven!
I don't think anyone needs to justify the greatness of Fellini as a director or Fellini movies as the greatest movies ever made. It is another thing to have most of his movies in one collection and be able to see them in the order they were produced.
Presently, I am in Fellini Heaven and Rota's music is in my head most of the day.
It is the greatest movie experience of my 84 year old life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
As far as packaging, I am not happy with the weird packaging of these movies. Storage is going to be a problem!
When package arrived as quickly as Prime usually delivers, I was disappointed to find two discs floating outside of their fastening. (I have played half of the collection and so far have not found a problem.)
I guess trying to fit all of these movies into a package is going to present a problem, so I might understand the decision to package them as they did. If the disks are O.K., I can live with the packaging.
Meanwhile, I truly love having most of his movies in one packaging and, thanks to Criterion, the most magnificent documentaries about each movie. Just with the movies I have seen, I feel a total connection with Fellini I never had before. I almost feel he is my spiritual godfather! Long live this genius!!!!

A must-have for any Fellini fan
When this was initially announced I was determined to add to my own library, however my economic situation at the time prevented me from buying it. It'd be a couple years before I finally had a little more financial freedom and ordered my copy. As noted in other reviews there was a common occurrence of discs coming loose from their little individual pocket and slide around free, potentially demanding the disc. This did happen to my order, but thankfully there was no damage. This a great collection, however there are a few exclusions that prevent me from giving it a full Five Star rating. His later films are not very good and feel like a great director falling into the pit of self parody. And the Ship Sails On is probably the worst of the entire collection. The disc devoted to a documentary on Marcello Mastroianni (which still haven't watched) seems like it's taking valuable space where an actual Fellini film should belong. I was hoping that they'd include Casanova, The Clowns, or even his last film, Voices of the Moon (which I still haven't seen). But that's the end of my minor quibble with these otherwise magnificent collection. I finally had in my possession all of his early films, a few a was seeing for the first time. I watched them in chronological order, beginning with Variety Lights, which he was actually a co-director and doesn't take much credit for. His early neorealist period was surprisingly good. I was so used to the period from Juliet of the Spirits onward that I thought I was going to be rather bored by these films. I was just happy to finally own a copy of Nights of Cabiria, which is still my favourite of his films. The collection also includes his contribution to an anthology film titled Spirits of the Dead, titled Toby Dammit. I was doubly surprised that it was not the dubbed version in which Terrance Stamp is dubbed by an anonymous Italian actor but retained his actual voice. The special features are plentiful and sound satisfy anyone who wants to appreciate the magic of Fellini. Criterion always puts out great quality releases and this is among their crowning achievements. Hopefully in the foreseeable future they'll release a box set of Luis Buñuel films.
