(R. Hocking, 2009-08-29) Overall it was good. Each war are created by different people so some were better than others. The Revolutionary War and the Alamo were both excellent. Each documentary included not only the battles but talked about the issues surrounding the war. The Civil War is the weakest in the series. It looked like the documentary was just an excuse to show a lot of death and violence. WWII was another strong one. It talked about the end of the war and the Nuremberg Trials. The Vietnam war had some amazing up close war footage.
(Amylane Harwood, 2009-01-06) I got this dvd set for my husband, the history geek. He loves it. And I love that Amazon has it at such a great price.
(Carmen, 2008-07-04) I got this DVD for my husband for fathers day and he absolutely loves it; he loves the history of war. He is very knowledgeable about past wars and always talks history with others.
(Mark Moseley, 2008-05-29) These DVDs contain mostly personal stories and less historical accuracy of how each war broke out and why. It did not even go into why the American revolution started. The video quality is awful. The first three DVDs were pretty good, but the rest were lacking badly. The invasion of Panama is gone from this set, although that was a major victory for the USA.
(Gregory Drahuschak, 2008-03-29) This set is great if you like the topic, but the same set is at Best Buy for $79 - $100 less than here.
