This two-tape boxed set, subtitled Our Time in Hell, provides an excellent chronology of the conflict in Korea. Produced by Discovery Channel, it makes good use of interviews with Korean War veterans from both sides of the fighting, as well as extensive use of archival footage. Rare film shot early in the conflict, in 1950, by a crew from NBC News, provides vivid testimony about the ferocity of the fighting. The video offers a very solid history of the conflict (the late historian Clay Blair, an expert on the Korean War, served as a historical consultant for the video production) and is particularly strong at providing a lucid account of how the tide of battle repeatedly surged back and forth between the Communist and United Nations forces during the first year of the war. The roles of two central figures in the war, General Douglas MacArthur, a legend of World War II, and President Harry S. Truman, are examined in some depth, and the global importance of the conflict is also explained capably, but for the most part the film focuses on the fighting men themselves. Watching the extensive combat footage, one can't help but appreciate the suffering borne by troops who had to endure savage fighting in horrifically cold weather. The Korean War: Our Time In Hell is a first-rate production, serious history given a gripping presentation. --Robert J. McNamara
