Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
Sir Jeremy Isaacs highly deserves the numerous awards for documentaries he has earned: the Royal Television Society's Desmond Davis Award, l'Ordre National du Mérit, an Emmy, and a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II. His epic The World at War remains unsurpassed as the definitive visual history of World War II.

The Second World War was different from other wars in thousands of ways, one of which was the unparalleled scope of visual documents kept by the Axis and Allies of all their activities. As a result, this war is understood as much through written histories as it is through its powerful images. The Nazis were particularly thorough in documenting even the most abhorrent of the atrocities they were committing--in a surprising amount of color footage. The World at War was one of the first television documentaries that exploited these resources so completely, giving viewers an unbelievable visual guide to the greatest event in the 20th century. This is to say nothing of the excellent, comprehensible narrative. Some highlights:

  • A New Germany 1933-39: early German and Nazi documentation of Hitler's rise to power through the impending attack on Poland
  • Whirlwind: the early British losses in the blitz in the skies over Britain and in North Africa
  • Stalingrad: the turning point of the war and Germany's first defeat
  • Inside the Reich--Germany 1940-44: one of the most fascinating documentaries that exists on life inside Nazi Germany, from Lebensborn to the Hitler Youth
  • Morning: prior to Saving Private Ryan, one of the only unromanticized views of the Normandy invasion
  • Genocide: this film is one of the most widely shown introductions to the Holocaust
  • Japan 1941-45: although The World at War is decidedly focused more on the European theater, this is an important look into wartime Japan and its expansion--early 20th-century history that lead to Japan's role in World War II is superficial
  • The bomb: another widely shown documentary of the Manhattan Project, the Enola Gay, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki


The World at War will remain the definitive visual history of World War II, analogous to Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. No serious historian should be missing The World at War in a collection, and no student should leave school without having seen at least some of its salient episodes. Rarely is film so essential. --Erik J. Macki

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Anglo Bias, But Well Worth Watching
I have not seen every WWII documentary, but I have seen none better. The only reasonable way to tackle a subject of such scope is by making several mini movies, which they have done. Olivier's superb naration ties them together, and the footage chosen is first rate, with minimal but worthwhile survivor interviews. The Pacific war gets its due, as do other minor theaters.

The German & Japanese stories are told from the inside. The evil is not glossed over, but there is a humility ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great WWII Historical value!
Husband loves the dvd set. Gives insight into each country and their citizens affected by WWII.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - an outstanding offer
The World at War (30th Anniversary Edition)

I have this series in VHS but don't have a player anymore, so I was surprised to find it on Amazon. I never expected to find the series on DVD. Amazon's price is the best around. I almost paid $30 or more for it in stores. This is an excellent, historical, series on World War II.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Gift
Gave these dvd's to a friend for Christmas. He loved them. He's a bit of a history buff...all eras, and said that some of the footage in these, blew him away:)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Complete History of World War II
This set is a complete history of World War II from Europe to the Pacific. The video and commentary are spectacular! Time Life's t.v. advertisement offers 4 discs for nearly the same price as this complete set of 11 discs! Amazon provides a great buy.
