Homage To a Fallen Empire, February 8, 2010
This review is from: The Fall of the British Empire (DVD)
This is an excellent introductory DVD documentry on the issues that resulted in the fall of one of the last great empires. Running slighly less than 3 hrs this DVD set has a lot of ground to cover. There is some great early film images mixed with a compelling and direct narration. Some repetition exisit between the three DVDs in the set, but overall the viewer gets a great overview of the Empire and the issues that contributed to its slow decline and fall. By looking at this fine documentray one can get a very good understanding of the world we live in today as a result of the impact of the British Empire. Whether one is for or against the legacy of what the British accomplished few can deny the impact today. A great set worth viewing many times because so much is discussed in a relatively short time.
