      Three of Bierce's Civil War Stories
      As a high school English teacher I welcome this video as an opportunity to show my students how a very strong writer of short stories can manipulate his audience. The discussion in the parlor adds to the students' understanding of the times and of the attitudes of the people.

      The twist at the end of each story grabs my juniors and takes them by surprise every time. The discussion by Bierce, Hearst, and Atherton between the stories allows the students to get a glimpse of the writing process and the ideas from which a writer gets his ideas.

      If you want car chases and explosions look elsewhere. If you want a very nice glimpse into the civil war and the mind of one of America's great writers then this is an excellent place to look.
