5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic WWII DVD Set, July 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Battles of WWII: Fury in the Pacific (DVD)

My grandfather was stationed at one of the many American Army bases in the surrounding islands around Japan during WWII, so he is sort of an afficianado when it comes to WWII documentaries and videos when it comes to the war in the Pacific. He enjoys reading and watching various videos and films on the subject so I picked up this DVD set for him. After watching some of it with him, I could tell that this had quickly moved to the head of the list as his favorite film on the subject.

The set naturally begins with Pearl Harbor and follows the trail of war along the major islands in the Island Hopping campaign. So much of this set is actual footage from wartime cameramen that its almost staggering. The commentary was informative and entertaining and the comments and insights from men actually stationed on the various islands the film is discussing at that time adds a feeling of the true vastness of this campaign, triumph at victory and the sadness at the loss of human life.

Like another reviewer, I managed to pick it up for half the Amazon asking price and it was a steal. For people interested in the subject it's worth the full forty bucks. A great addition to any War film collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shop Around..., July 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Battles of WWII: Fury in the Pacific (DVD)

I found this collection of DVDs to be very interesting and the footage to be as good as most other documentaries. However, I purchased this set for less than HALF what Amazon is asking... So I'd watch out for a good deal...

This review is from: Great Battles of WWII: Fury in the Pacific (DVD)

This is a three DVD set that is fantastic. We get to see firsthand the great battles fought during World War II across the vast Pacific Ocean. This shows us some of what occured during this war through the lenses of combat cameramen. And told by those who were there and experience the events depicted.

It begins with the suprise attack at Pearl Harbor, to the initial USA counterattack at Guadalcanal, to ultimate victory in the island hopping campaign. If you want some idea of what transpired in the Pacific during World War II....You will want to get this DVD set.
