| Narrated by Sir Laurence Olivier, The WORLD AT WAR is the definitive film
about World War II, capturing the drama and action of the epic conflict through the most
intense combat footage ever seen. Go to the fronts and inside the war rooms where history
was made, and meet the men and women who were there, from generals and world leaders to
the infantrymen who carried out their orders. Combining the epic view with the personal
stories, this is the ultimate examination of the greatest conflict in world history. In these nine volumes, comprising some 22 hours, the stirring saga of World War II comes to life, from the first rumblings of nationalism and the rise of Hitler in Germany to the momentous decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan. Go behind enemy lines with the first wave of paratroopers at D-Day and witness the horror and bloodshed of the island-hopping campaign in the South Pacific. From the pivotal encounters to the little-known stories, THE WORLD AT WAR captures the epic sweep of the global conflict like no other film ever made. |
