Editorial Review:
Description:
During the chaos and destruction of WWII, ordinary men and women from all walks of life were thrown into fearsome, real-life situations worthy of any Hollywood movie -- the only difference is that this series every story is true. Ordinary GIs and US Air Force and Navy personnel suddenly found themselves flying against the Japanese in China, jungle fighting in Burma and being dropped by submarine on enemy coasts at midnight. Each fifty-two minute story gives the viewer a clear view of the historical context, the strategic objective, and the tactical effort made by flyers, sailors and foot-soldiers - often in the most oppressive and life threatening situations - to win victory from the enemy.
Average Rating:

The documentary is, as expected, informative. However, it is overshadowed by the totally unfit and very intrusive Sound score, consisting entirely of fast-paced action-scene, militaristic music, mixed in way too loudly. Think of the music during an action scene from an Indiana Jones movie, and stick this score on a calmly narrated documentary - it does not work at ALL. Even after watching all DVD's, this was quite annoying still.
