Part 1: David Simon

Cobb's devastating account of World War I provided the spine to HBO's critically acclaimed series, THE WIRE. Creator and writer David Simon reflects on his first encounter with PATHS OF GLORY and its resonance in his writing. Simon discusses how Cobb's writing explosed the truth about war and how his anger towards war was channeled correctly within this book. He also touches on the book's anticipation of what the institution of war has and will become in the future.
