Clark/Waging Modern War
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page essay that discusses the major points from General Wesley Clark's autobiographical account of the Kosovo war, Waging Modern War. While Clark agrees with the political objectives of the Kosovo campaign and successfully used military force to obtain these objectives, his description of his Kosovo experience paints a scenario in which this successful conclusion did not originate with the leadership of the Clinton Administration, Pentagon leaders or NATO. Clark argues that the Kosovo war could have been easily lost, first of all, because a lack of effective leadership led to fighting a war that was not defined as a war; the resistance of the Pentagon toward supporting the Kosovo war properly; and the constraints placed on NATO forces by legal advisers concerning tactical options.

Composer Cesar Franck: His Life and Representative Works
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 9 page paper discussing composer Cesar Franck and his works. French composer Cesar Franck (1822-1890) born in Liege, Belgium was considered one of the most talented French composers of all time. While he was known initially for his organ music and playing, especially in the new church of Ste. Clotilde in Paris, he became considerably better known for his range of compositions throughout his lifetime. The organ and the Church played significant roles in some of his early works but his talent was truly revealed through his exceptional range in compositions which included not only singular pieces for the organ, keyboards and other instruments but also symphonies, chamber music and the nineteenth century phenomenon symphonic poems, among others. Much of Franck’s work showed the influence of the Church within his work and life and many of his works are still used within the Catholic liturgy. Other works, such as the symphonic poem Psyche among others showed how passionate and romantic Franck could be often revealed within the mythical and natural worlds. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
