I should have known better that if you're going to squeeze 7 movies, nearly 8 hours of video onto two DVDs, that the quality would suck. The compression on the video is so bad that images are blurry at times. Plus there are audio and video dropouts. I returned this and bought the set from PDQ Filmworks where each movie is on its own DVD, and there are two extra WWII movies, to boot. If you want a cursory view of these great films from Capra, then buy this edition. But if you want a true collector's quality set, in great packaging that will last you years, then I'd check out the 8-disc set from PDQ. WHY WE FIGHT: 7 World War II Films by Frank Capra (8-Disc DVD set, Complete Series)

A great story that explains world politics and what we are still struggling with even today. Most notably the manipulation of populations for global advantage and the value of various regions of the earth. And yes, it is US propaganda and still an accurate snapshot of America and other countries before and during WWII. Highly recommended for repeated viewings.

The Why We Fight series is a masterpiece, composed of many clips taken from the second world war. I plan to show this series to my class, and I know they will be entertained and educated. The price is great, but there is one problem there should be seven programs. Series titles should include: * Prelude to War * The Nazis Strike * Divide & Conquer * Battle of Britain * Battle of Russia Part 1 & 2 * Battle of China * War Comes to America. To get four for 9.99 is a steal!
