Now for the first time ever, the entire 26 volumes of ?The World at War? in one reasonably priced set. Simply put; this is the best war documentary ever made.
More than 30 years after its initial broadcast, THE WORLD AT WAR remains the definitive visual history of World War II. Narrated by Academy Award_ winner Laurence Olivier and digitally re-mastered for DVD, this is epic history at its absolute best.
Unsurpassed in depth and scope, its 26 hour-long programs feature an extraordinary collection of newsreel, propaganda, and home-movie footage drawn from the archives of 18 nations, including close-ups of Adolf AH taken by his mistress, that present an unvarnished perspective of the war’s pivotal events. Penetrating interviews with eyewitness participants–from AH’s secretary to Alger Hiss to ordinary citizens who stood outside the battle lines–add spine-tingling, first-hand accounts to an already unforgettable viewing experience.
Informative and unbiased, THE WORLD AT WAR is the recipient of numerous accolades, including an International Emmy Award_, The National Television Critic’s Award_ for Best Documentary, and knighthood for its creator, Sir Jeremy Isaacs.
