WW2 Price of an Empire - The Complete Series [DVD] WWII

COMPLETE SET WW2 PRICE OF THE EMPIRE

Without question one of the best WWII war documentaries I've watched. Possibly second only to the famous World at War series. Shame the distributor decided to rename it - it's actually called 'Price of Empire' but that's a trivial matter. The sheer detail of information here and volume of archive material, and the consistently good narration keep your attention. In fact I occasionally have to stop and rewind a bit because there's so much going on its easy to miss an important detail. I can't recommend this enough. I've watched it twice, and watching the whole series again at the moment.

This was bought as a replacement

Great series with good footage documenting every step in WW 2 on par and if not better than the World at war series.in my opinion. Delivered in good time .

While this terrific Australian 3-DVD series owes much to the UK's classic 1970's documentary 'The World At War', it has a strong identity of its own, offering alternative emphases and insights to those familiar and favoured in Britain. It also features distinctive graphics and an informative, clearly enunciated narration. The images are very good - the talking heads are in HD and the contemporary footage looks as if it's been cleaned up. Though television broadcasts of this series feature subtitles, they are absent from this DVD edition - they would have helped capture some of the place names and technical references and should have been included. However, this overview of the war is well-structured and authoritative, represents outstanding value-for-money and fully warrants an upgrade to Blu-ray.

Saw this rare footage of WW2 history on TV and decided that I had to have it in my library to watch again and again.A fascinating account of exactly why events happened when they did.It's concise and it's narrated perfectly.
