Accidental Army - DVD

Most people have never heard of the Czech (or Czechoslovak) Legion. I have written two articles on this early 20th century band of freedom fighters with the help of research from the Czech Legion Project. The Czech Legion Project is a non-profit historical organization that strives to tell the tale of this incredible group. After years of effort they have put together an insightful 47-minute documentary entitled “The Accidental Army: The Amazing True Story of the Czechoslovak Legion.”

The 2009 independent production utilizes the vast archives amassed by the Czech Legion Project to tell the ‘most amazing story you never heard.” Commentators included Lt Col Mike Maudlin, USA retired (advisor to the Czech Army 2003-2006), and Professor Malynne Sternstein, PhD. The documentary was also assisted by the Czech consulate and included an introduction by Madeleine Albright.
