5.0 out of 5 stars
WWII Stories that are not told too often.,
By Derrik Mantel (Maplewood, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: War in the Pacific With Walter Cronkite (DVD)
I am a fan of most WWII documentaries. I had not seen most of the segments in this set with the late Walter Cronkite. I find it to be an excellent supplement to the World at War box set. A true enthusiast will not find this set disappointing. It is over 8.5 hours in length. Most volumes consist of stories that are about 20-30 minutes in length.
It contains interviews with the Doolittle Bombing raid survivors, a Japanese spy from pearl harbor (very interesting and informative,) stories on the Burma Road, Tarawa, B-29 raids over Japan, Okinawa and the Kamikazes, A-bomb mission, Angaur, USS Hornet, Midway and others. They are pieced together well and add some depth to the picture of WWII that is portrayed so often on the History channel. It is a five star set in its content and quality but does not have the international perspectives or comprehensive view of the war that the World at War has. It also does not have the detailed military analysis that the Battlefield Series has. Still, this set is good and a history buff will enjoy the numerous first hand accounts of events that are recorded in the series. For the Price, it is well worth it.

This review is from: War in the Pacific With Walter Cronkite (DVD)
This is an excellent DVD, especially if you are a WWII buff or just interested in history. Walter Cronkite, as always, does a superb job narrating.
