I was very interested to see how the DVD was done, because I had purchased some other DVDs of World War One, and was disappointed on the content and structure they had. Some hadn't any narration and jumped around and were hard to follow...Boring would be a better word! I thouroughly enjoyed this set and there was even information that I wasn't aware of. It was truly a very good DVD! I would recommend it highly to anyone that would like to watch the way World War One took place, and gives a great portrail of how life was at that time and what a stuggle it was. The aftermath information was an eye opener and this would be a good DVD to show children growing up these days, what the cost of freedom can be if it has to be fought for. A good example of why its so important to learn from history.Read full review
The movie does not lay out the events leading up to the war and the war itself in an easy-to-follow format. Viewers need to have significant understanding of the subject overall for this DVD to be of any benefit. It is more a collection of disconnected story lines than a smooth narrative.

Nice that this wasn’t another Hollywood production. All original films (some clips used often) and seemingly a straightforward commentary. Not much out there on details of WW1 so that alone makes this production very much appreciated.

For someone who likes history or would like to learn more than what is taught in school, is is very good! The pics keep boredom away. It always amazes me how film will last for so many years? Great job at putting this war film together in the correct order. So sad that some films were lost or destroyed by fire or something similar.

3 discs with segment breaks, much longer than i expected. Some photos are used multiple times as they are depictions not necessarily the specific subject. Great value.
