War stories based in reality aren't really my cup of tea, but this story was very interesting and entertaining.  It could easily have been fiction based in a different time period.  A young prince, also a soldier, who has father issues is sent into the warzone, only to become trapped behind enemy lines.  This story has elements that deal with a soldiers thoughts on some of the killing that happens during war; not all deaths that happen in war are deaths of warriors.  Even the villain is dealing with his own personal issues.  It seems that death can cause a man who has love of his country to change for the worse, becoming an empty shell or rather a shell filled with anger. Even when the lines of right and wrong are blurred by perspectives of opposing sides, sometimes anger is what pushes an individual toward acts of evil.I could easily see this as a BBC movie, and it would be good. It has a slow start, but worth it in the climax.
