Editorial Reviews

Part of the People's Century series Total War -- WWII and the Home Front documents how the war brought new blood into the workplace but made those new workers targets for attack from the enemies. Utilizing archival footage and new materials the film illuminates such events as the creation of Rosie the Riveter Pearl Harbor and the Siege of Leningrad. This is a fine informative film for those with an interest in the subject matter as well as for teachers who may find it useful in a classroom setting. ~ Perry Seibert All Movie GuideSystem Requirements:Run Time: 56 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

This review is from: People's Century: Total War 1939-1947 (DVD)

During World War One, war against civilians seemed to be a side effect, but during World War Two, it became common to wage war against entire societies. The practice, condemned early in the war by the United States, later became common strategy for both sides. This remarkable presentation presents its effects from the perspective of Japan and Germany as well as the U.S., Britain, France and Russia.
