After 6 consecutive years of only learning American history in school, (seriously, I've come to loath the subject) only near the end of the 6th year was I shown this.
How is it that the man who told us the truth and made us laugh, can tell us the truth and make us cry? I noticed someone has put Mark Twain's "The War Prayer" in the Internet Sacred Text Archive. I think we can all agree it belongs there.
While I normally love Peter Coyote's voice, I'm not sure I agree with his oral interpretation. He's missing the rhythm of a martial drumbeat that Twain so artistically wove into language. The punctuation and words themselves actually make the rhythm of a drum.
