　　1864 After a huge battle and the brutal shelling of the population of Atlanta, Federal troops ("Yanks") take control of the city. Their plan is to use all of the goods remaining in the warehouse district of Atlanta to outfit their army for the upcoming March to the Sea, which they hope will end the War Between the States. Confederate spies move into the warehouse district, disguised as Yanks, to take stock of what is still there that might be of use to the army of the north. They find a lot. The word comes down from Confederate command to burn the entire district, destroying vast quantities of goods and uprooting hundreds of families that have been in the area for decades. "The Burning of Atlanta" is the story of the destruction of a major city near the end of the war, and the desperation and terror this causes in the lives of those who watch their entire society collapse around them.

　　1940年5月，法国在与德国军队的对抗中，陷入了被动的局面，可能会随时战败。查尔斯临时接到命令：他刚刚被任命为军队的将军并且需要立刻启程，前往战场前线指挥战斗。他不得不离开自己的妻子和三个孩子，把家人安顿好后，他放心地离开了。但一场战役打下来后，查尔斯感到十分吃力和担忧，害怕自己没有能力带领众多法国军人取得战争的胜利，同时他也担心自己的家人，想尽快结束这场战争，回到家人身边。在一次军事讨论会上，贝当一直对法国能在与德国对抗中取得胜利持有怀疑态度以及消极情绪，他主张接受希特勒的建议：德法两国进行谈判。查尔斯知道，即使谈判，法国依旧处于被动的一面，所以他主张继续反抗。而这时，查尔斯得知自己的家人与军队失去了联系，在逃亡途中，和成千上百个法国家庭一样，他们被德军俘虏了，是生是死至今不明。这更坚定了查尔斯继续战斗的信念，这不仅仅是为了自己的家人在战斗，更是为了守护法国这片国土，还法国人民一个和平、安稳的生活而战。
