Editorial Reviews

WWII was the largest and most destructive war ever waged, engulfing the far reaches of the globe. The defining event of the 20th Century, this was lasted more than five years, spanning three continents and the seven seas, and threatening the future of civilization itself. The legacy of that conflict remains strong today, having shaped and changed our world in a thousand ways. This collection of 8 DVDs, including over 24 hours of archival footage, takes you through the war years, from the Battle of Britain in Europe to the atmoic blasts at Hiroshima and Nagasaki which ended the war in the Pacific. Each theater of operation and major turning point is examined in detail, the great battles and the political struggles, the sacrifies and triumphs of millions of men and women, caught up in the greatest war mankind has ever known.

5.0 out of 5 stars WWII with Walter Cronkite, August 27, 2009
By 
This review is from: World War II with Walter Cronkite (DVD)
I watched and loved this show when I was a kid (I know I am old!), and loved it when it came out on video tape back in the 80's. When I saw it had been released on DVD I was elated because my video tapes had worn out. I was also happy to see how cheap it was compared to buying the old VHS tapes. I would highly recommend this series to both the serious WWII nut like me, or to someone who wants an easy to understand narrative of the war. It is unique in that it gives the human perspective to events, and is not just a video with impersonal facts and film clippings. It is a great companion piece to The World at War (which is also available on DVD). I would highly recommend buying this DVD set.
