If you are interested in WWI, this DVD set is amazing. All original footage. Extensive coverage. Highly recomended.

First World War [Posted on 2008-09-10]
A very thorough documentary but a little dry. I was pleased with the film footage available and was impressed with the diaries of a few civilians who wrote a very accurate account of what took place. A couple of whom were only 10 or 11 years old at the time.

For someone who is interested in history, I would recommend this DVD set.

DVD, is the gem! [Posted on 2008-09-17]
If you've seen is on PBS or the military channel you know why it's perhaps the most important break down of events in the past century and while it doesn't cover WWII it explains it's roots, the cold war and the basis for issues in the world today. Outstandingly done history that you wish was how other things were presented. Better than perhaps Ken Burns' civil war series.

Very satisfied [Posted on 2008-10-01]
I found this documentary very informative. I claim to be a WW1 buff and it showed me a brand new perspective. The script is clearly researched well and includes many of the soldiers and civilians written words to enhance it, however, they use the same British for every person which was kind of irritating. This documentary can get a bit dry at times for someonewho shows little interest in the subject, especially in the Global War and Jihad episodes. What this series' crowning acheivement was is to relate the war to every country that fought in it. Battles such as Verdun, Tannenburg and the Somme were discussed but it focused on many other factors (much of which were behind the scenes) for the majority. I would highly recommend this video to anyone wanting to learn more on the subject.

A Peach! [Posted on 2008-10-25]
If your a WW1 buff you'll really enjoy this series. Not the end of the rainbow but a good solid overview nicely presented.
