Amazon.com has
put together a nice package deal on several books and DVDs related to the 1970 Marshall
football plane crash. Each part of the package (see below) provides different
perspectives about the tragedy. But when these three works are placed together
in one offering, readers and viewers will discover that each item complements
the other.
Feel free to
check it out for yourself. Go to the Amazon.com website, click on “books” and enter
“November Ever After” in the search box. Click on the photo of the book and
scroll down to the “Frequently Bought Together” section. The price of this
package is a lot more reasonable than you might ever imagine. Here’s a quick
synopsis of each part of the Amazon package.
Remembering Marshall
Released in
2000, this ESPN Classic documentary on DVD serves as a memorable tribute to
those who lost their lives in a horrible plane crash over forty-one years ago. The
eyewitness interviews clearly reveal the depths of anguish and despair felt by
those who were left behind in the wake of what is still considered the worst
aviation disaster in the history of American sports.
Return of the Thundering Herd
This
documentary came out in the weeks leading up to the 2006 nationwide premier of
the movie We Are Marshall, which was
produced by Warner Brothers. Much of the documentary focuses on how the school
and the city of Huntington, West Virginia were able to hold steady and bear
witness to one of the most remarkable comebacks in college athletics. The
subtitle to this DVD … The Story That
Inspired We Are Marshall … is most
appropriate.
November Ever After
The story of
the Marshall crash continues to
resonate strongly with people of all ages. Most of what folks know about the
night of November 14, 1970,
is based on what they’ve read or seen in the book The Marshall Story, along with the above-mentioned films and Ashes to Glory, which was the first
documentary devoted to the tragedy (released in 2000 around the time of the 30th
anniversary of the crash).
What sets this
book apart from other media works is its inclusion of major events connected
with the crash that had never been dealt with in previous productions. Written
by a former player who knew most of the players who died, this memoir
represents a collaboration of insights and recollections from the voices of
those who had never been heard from. November
Ever After is story whose time has finally come.
