Up till then I had not heard about the life of David Marcus. Who could of ever imagined that a young Manhatten boy would achieve such great accomplishments and be very effective citizen/soldier for the US and Israel. Just as Joshua was used by God to lead his people into battle it appears that God prepared a young "David" from New York to lead his people into battle as Isreal became a nation. I believe the real story of this man is far greater and deeper then Hollywood could portray but I appreciate that they made the effort so that folks like me might hear this of this courageous man. It's too bad that he was to lose his life at such a young age as I wonder what great works he might have continued to do. I would have loved to serve with him.

Melvin Shavelson's book on the making that movie, HOW TO MAKE A JEWISH MOVIE, is also fascinating.
