A Good Addition to the Library

ByRCP Quaecumque veraon January 13, 2009

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

The Century of Warfare is a solid addition to a the military video library. It contains a vast amount of footage not shown in The World at War or the BBC History of WWII. There are some small clips which are repeated but these act as splices and are less than.ooo1 % of the total content.It is 24 x 50 min episodes. It is a British production that has background classical music to 90 % the narration time. Do not be scared off by that.

Strengths:

Superior coverage of Japanese Imperialism in the Pacific War, Desert War of WW II, Good overview of the Middle East Conflict, 7 hrs on WW I.

Weaknesses - Inferior coverage of the Western European Campaigns and Occupations
I'll Make it easy on you - here are your 20th Century Picks in the DVD Military genre - they are not ranked:

For in depth coverage of specific campaigns the Battlefield series first season is excellent esp. the episodes on Pearl Harbor,Kursk, The Crimea and Guadalcanal - each episode is 100 min devoted to the battle and its context within the overall campaign.

Rare Archival Footage In An Excellent Series

ByPen Nameon May 18, 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This is a series that covers the vast subject of human conflict in the twentieth century. Starting with World War One, it spends most of the series on World War Two, and finishes with the Cold War, Vietnam and the First Gulf War. Many minor conflicts are also touched on, and there are brief clips of the Italian Abyssinian War, the Ethiopian war, Spanish Civil War and the early battles in China involving Japan, China and Russia. Some very dramatic footage is shown from the East, including a clip where two biplane fighters separately crash in the camera shot. Robert Powell's competent narration is used throughout. Nugus and Martin have created a fascinating and illuminating study of war and anyone even mildly interested in the history would find the series an asset to own. I highly recommend this set.

Dissapointed

ByWarlockon October 7, 2013

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

The add shows the whole pack. I got just one episode, but I did enjoy it. I've seen the entire documentary. I checked it out many times at the Hunter Army Airfield library while it was open. At $36 I thought it was a steal. Little did I know I was the one being ripped off. Great episode, terrible price and misleading add.

The Century of Warfare

ByJanet Lister Caldwellon June 25, 2010

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

This outstanding documentary, with rare footage and in depth reporting, should be shown to every young person. Too often now we are subjected to revisionist history by those who feel they must get their own particular view across. This documentary doesn't editorialize or try to change history to suit themselves. It just reports what happened. This collection is a must-have for anyone interested in history.

very well done

ByTomon March 23, 2014

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

If you like military history, these are the DVDs for you. There is a lot to watch and it mainly focus on WWI and WWII. But overall, very well put together and good narration.
