Thank you for the must-see list. I have seen some of those, particularly History Channel selections. I agree with your suggestions. I agree with your observations. And yes, I shall see the Three Kingdoms soon. I plan on building my own history movie gallery on top of my history book gallery because thick reference books don’t just cut it. With enthusiastic students to challenge me everyday, i really have to get those materials. As you may want to know, I am more into Western civilization (somewhere between the Hellenistic to the present periods). I like reading and watching about Medieval Europe, the Crusades, give or take what transpired among the “faithful” in those times, Reformation, world wars , American history and the prospect of an Asian hemisphere (with a dash of political fantasy a cross between huntington and espionage writers). A lot of my contemporaries have shifted to studying the East. That is great with me but as Mahbubani indicates, there is no exclusivity here. The West must give way to the East and the East can not deny what the West has done in spite the idea that it can stand on its own culture and identity.

I am also into rts pc games. Why? History. I’m so madly crazy about history becoming alive in cyberspace and through these games, I don’t mind spending a whole day doing nothing Medieval Total War. The Total War series blows me off and I can not wait for the Empire set. Thank God for a preoccupied life!
