After recently watching "War Walks" by Professor Holmes with my fellow a-level history class I wanted to show my enjoyment on such a gripping documentary. The specific battle we watched was on the "battle of the Boyne" and thanks to Holme's enthusiasm and passion for the subject, I found that I was able to build a detailed picture in my mind on what it was actually like during this battle. To some, Holme's enthusiasm could be portrayed as pompous and egotistical due to the way in which he spoke to the audience in such a dramatical way. However I disagree and believe that Professor Holmes is just a very passionate man who is enthusiastic about history. Which is my opinion that is not a bad thing. Overall in my opinion I think he did an excellent job in replaying the events of the Battle of the Boyne. I would strongly recommend other A-level students to watch this to broaden their historical knowledge.
