A Century of Warfare - the Time Life Video Collection
One of the great things about the Time Life video collection is
that it provides a great education and a great deal of
enlightenment in addition to mere entertainment value. One of
the best examples of this fine tradition is the newly released
Century of Warfare collection.
This DVD set includes a
complete history of World War II, including many stories that
have never been told before. The DVD includes footage that had
been kept under wraps for more than half a century, seen here
for the first time. The Century of Warfare DVD serves as an
excellent visual record of this major turning point in the
history of the world. This classic video series takes the viewer
behind enemy lines for a look at the real history and the story
behind the story. The series includes almost two hours of rare
archival footage, collected here for the first time.
Volume IV of the Century of Warfare series starts with the
surprise attack on Russia by the Germans. The Germans eventually
are turned back from Stalingrad in what would come to be seen as
the beginning of the end for the Nazi regime's attempt to take
over the world. Other classic moments in this volume are the
D-Day invasion and the famous meeting at Yalta that would decide
the fate of post war Europe. Relive these classic moments of
history through this fine volume.
The next volume in
the Century of Warfare series, volume V, focuses on the other
part of World War II, the war in the Pacific theater. Some of
the most harrowing battles both in the air and at sea are
featured in this volume. Included in this volume are some of the
early victories by the Japanese, the bombing of Pearl Harbor,
and the dropping of the atomic bomb to help bring the war to an
end. This classic series allows viewers to feel like they are
flying in a B-17 on a bombing raid, or to see what it was like
to land with the U.S. Marines.
We all know that history
is important, and that understanding the lessons of history is
vital to avoid making those same mistakes in the future. With
these classic Time Life videos, however, history comes alive,
and history can be fun as well as educational. These great
videos combine history, entertainment and enlightenment to tell
the story of World War II like it has never been told before.
