The Best Documentary Availiable on this War A superb and wonderfully narrated documentary on this complex subject. The film footage and its presentation alone make this a superior work. I have seen but few other documentaries on this war and none have covered the entire breadth of the war as powerfully or in more detail than this. Gaps do exist, but for the most part, they do not seriously curtail the quality of this documentary.
Highly recommended for anyone with even an inkling of interest
It doesn't get any better than this! The best collection of footage and photos of the "Great War". Robert Ryan's voice is perfect and the music by Mr Gould is superb and chilling!
Excellent Perhaps the gold standard when it comes to video documentaries of the Great War. Extremely comprehensive and well balanced.
I Agree with the Previous Reviewer CBS's documentary World War 1 is comprehensive and very evocative. The film footage is extraordinary and masterfully edited. I must correct one error in the previous review: the powerful music score is by Morton Gould.
This set of videos is incomplet. This video set is both compelling and accurate but it is also incomplet. In its original showing, and in a showing on PBS a few years ago, there are 26 episodes. In this set there are only 22 episodes. The missing episodes are: "The Doomed Dynasties", "Year Of Lost Illusions", "The Allies In Russia" and "Tipperary And All That Jazz".
