One is student protests and a riot at UWisconsin as kids try to stop Dow Chemical (the makers of napalm) from recruiting on campus, but the other narrative is about a a US Army battalion in a massive five hour battle, the descriptions of which are incredibly brutal, with a lot of psychological examinations of the affects of battle, etc. It's two narratives that each happen in just a day and I think the events are put next to eachother because they happened less than 24 hours apart. Anyway, I just wanted to say that assuming the movie follows the book, while half of it is student protests, the other half is incredibly intense battle scenes. That said, it's a very well written book that really examines the nuanced characters and their decisions. In the right hands, it should be an excellent movie. There's a lot of great material for a film. They Marched Into Sunlight is a brilliant Pulitzer Prize winning non-fiction book that has two split narratives.

Though not a war film per say..it was still one of the best military films in a decade and for me ranks up there with the best of them. The book is brilliant. What about Black Hawk Down?
