The World at War
Description
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 color close-ups of
Adolf Hitler taken by his mistress, that present an unvarnished perspective of
the war’s pivotal events. Penetrating interviews with eyewitness participants
–from Hitler’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.
