| | Customer Reviews: Anglo Bias, But Well Worth Watching (09 January 2009)I have not seen every WWII documentary, but I have seen none better. The only reasonable way to tackle a subject of such scope is by making several mini movies, which they have done. Olivier's superb naration ties them together, and the footage chosen is first rate, with minimal but worthwhile survivor interviews. The Pacific war gets its due, as do other minor theaters. The German & Japanese stories are told from the inside. The evil is not glossed over, but there is a humility that the tragedies were human failings, not ethnic ones. Battles, politics, everyday life--horror and hindsight, it's all here. Great WWII Historical value! (09 January 2009)Husband loves the dvd set. Gives insight into each country and their citizens affected by WWII. an outstanding offer (07 January 2009)The World at War (30th Anniversary Edition) I have this series in VHS but don't have a player anymore, so I was surprised to find it on Amazon. I never expected to find the series on DVD. Amazon's price is the best around. I almost paid $30 or more for it in stores. This is an excellent, historical, series on World War II. Gift (06 January 2009)Gave these dvd's to a friend for Christmas. He loved them. He's a bit of a history buff...all eras, and said that some of the footage in these, blew him away:) Complete History of World War II (06 January 2009)This set is a complete history of World War II from Europe to the Pacific. The video and commentary are spectacular! Time Life's t.v. advertisement offers 4 discs for nearly the same price as this complete set of 11 discs! Amazon provides a great buy. |
