Based on the hugely successful, award winning manga series created by Naoki Urasawa (Yawara; Monster)... See full synopsis »

In 1965, Operation Rolling Thunder roars across the skies over North Vietnam and the first U.S. ground troops land in the South. American soldiers are outnumbered in the Ia Drang Valley, the first major battle of the war. Then, American troops launch widespread "search and destroy" operations; body count, not territory, becomes the measure of success in Vietnam. Charles Brown fights for survival on the bloody slopes of Hill 875 and at home, the American public begins to question U.S. military strategy. Narrated by Emmy-nominated actor Michael C. Hall.

Jazz flute is frustrating - it has huge potential but most people who played it over the years simply weren't good. Their tone was often thin (usually because they just use it as double from the sax) and the solos consisted more of special effects (flurries of notes etc.) rather than coherent lines and structure.
