Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
This first installment of Archives of War, a collection focusing on 20th-century warfare, uses as its centerpiece a British silent film shot in the 1920s--The Battle of Ypres, which was produced to resemble a World War I documentary. The rest is an eclectic mix of newsreels shot in Europe and Asia that show how the stage was being set for World War II. The material is presented in its original languages with no translations, but the footage itself is often fascinating.
The second installment focuses on the leaders of the nations involved in World War II. In addition to Hitler and Mussolini propaganda clips, perhaps the most interesting material features Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose famed "date which will live in infamy" speech is shown in its entirety. Roosevelt also is seen delivering his devastatingly sarcastic speech lampooning Republicans, and Winston Churchill appears in a variety of newsreels. --Robert J. McNamara

Some people are blowing this out of proportion with their reviews. It's 10 or 15 bucks for 7 hours of footage, and it tells you what you're going to get in the description. I, for one, don't really care that the footage is colorized - in fact I prefer it. If I want B&W footage I can find that any time, getting a general idea of how it really looked based on the colorization is kind of cool.
There is narration on parts and you can learn things, of course, but mostly you're buying it to ... Read More

This set of videos was disappointing, especially because the History Channel usually is better.
First, it's not just about the war in Europe, so if you want to focus on the European theater, you're also going to get some about Japan, Asia and Africa. Which means the European focus is weaker.
Second, they use some of the shots and narratives twice. Which is okay if you watch an episode a week, but not if you watch all 4 in a couple of days. The repetition seemed pointless. ... Read More

This is actual footage of the war. The film quality isn't the best so if thats what your looking for don't buy it. If your looking for the story of the war it's a great buy. I had seen most of this on The History Channel and so forth, but it makes more sence seeing it all together. I have a number of coworkers who want to borrow it, I'll post comments in future.

I've been *trying* to watch this, but every time I try I have to hit "Stop" on the remote before too long. I'm onto the third disk after about 3 months.
Wade pretty much took the words right out of my mouth, but did it better.
The packaging is deceptive, but I knew that from the get-go. There probably isn't 5 DVDs worth of color WWII footage to begin with! But what I wasn't prepared for, but should have been, is that the job of colorizing would be butchered to the point of ... Read More

This 3-hour single disc covers every aspect of the war. I highly recommend this DVD for anyone interested or someone that may be a teacher. The narrator Dale Reed is exellent in guiding the story as well as adding insight. Also recommended "The Korean War" by Marathon Music & Video.
