National Public Radio's 1981 adaptation of Star Wars was one of the most successful presentations in the history of radio—and a very tough act to follow. Nevertheless, two years later, the members of the Star Wars production team eagerly returned to create a radio version of The Empire Strikes Back.Like its predecessor, this electrifying drama boasts an outstanding cast (including Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Anthony Daniels as See Threepio, Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian, and John Lithgow as Yoda); a greatly expanded script, with many scenes not found in the movie; and audio engineering of unparalleled excellence. The Empire Strikes Back takes you once more into a galaxy of pure sound and limitless imagination for an adventure you'll never forget.Star Wars®,™, & © 1993 Lucasfilm Ltd.

The Sting of the Hawke is a technically-heavy volume, but is easy to understand, particularly with salient points being illustrated by graphics or other visuals. Ellis does not attribute superhuman wisdom to the founders but he also avoids the current tendency to belittle their accomplishments through an anachronistic importation of today's values into the late 18th Century. Following these declinations, and perhaps in part as a result of them, Thomas was passed over for independent command until 1864. He is critical of Thomas for declining two large independent commands in 1862. Thomas fought for the rights of African Americans during Reconstruction and spoke against the "Lost Cause" understanding of the Civil War that began in the South soon after Appomatox.

Einolf offers a carefully balanced approach to Thomas's generalship which points out his great strengths as a comman
