A Landmark Collection,
This review is from: The Greatest Generation with Tom Brokaw Boxed Set (DVD)
Through his series of NBC documentaries,and his best-selling books, Tom Brokaw reminded us all of the trial, tribulations and sacrifices made by the generation that got the U.S. through the Great Depression and World War Two. Here for the first time in one DVD collection, are all three of Brokaw's "Greatest Generation" documentaries -- companions to his books that bring the emotional power of video to his stories of the average Americans who waged America's toughest battles. Brokaw brings his own personal integrity to every frame, and develops an intimate relationship with his subjects -- this allows him to delve deeply into not just war stories, but into the ways these men were changed when they came back home. Each of the three main features weaves beautifully shot interviews and contemporary scenes with remarkable archival footage of the war. This three-disc set is crammed with extras, interviews with veterans and POW camp survivors -- who describe in unforgettable details their experience in war, and their ordeals upon returning to the US. This is really a landmark collection, a must-have for any student of history, and anyone who appreciates the accomplishments of "The Greatest Generation."

I received the 3 DVD package by Tom Brokaw, The Greatest Generation. I was very happy with the speed with which it arrived at my home. The cellophane was still on the package as though it were brand new right off the store shelf. Can't for get that the reason I purchased this 3 DVD package was the price, it was just what I wanted to pay for it. thanks. Doug

If you like Tom Brokaw, you will like this. His book is good, but seeing him do an interview or talking is really where he has always shined.
This DVD series is well organized and Brokaw does a great job in presenting the lives and personal stories of the people involved. Having had a father and several other relatives in WWII, I really appreciated the time and personalization this DVD series allows the viewer to experience. It really was very finely edited and put together. It reminded me of why I am so glad my father and others like him went to war when they were called without hesitation. It is a very touching, sensitively done tribute to all who were involved in World War II.
