Helped understand the book more

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2002)

My comment will be quick. I read the book a year ago and found it interesting, but had difficulty keeping track of what was happening in the different locations. This movie helped clear that up for me.
The movie is extremely faithful to the book. I watched a History channel show on this battle featuring the actually soldiers, and some of the descriptions they gave appear word for word in the movie. One thing different I noticed was it appears in the movie that Capt. Steele a the wounded are occupying a single building. In the book, they tried to move but were pinned down and the Captain was isolated from most of his men for the night. Other than that, everything in the movie is straight from the book.
Yes, this is a good movie. See it.
