The thrilling and heroic story of the United States Army is vividly recreated in this moving program, Citizen Soldiers , that forms a part of the remarkable series on the U.S. Armed Forces, In Defense of Freedom . Narrated by Ken Howard, this film, crammed with rare, restored footage, photographs and vintage portraits of our early heroes, takes us from the birth of the U.S. Army to Vietnam - and beyond. You'll witness the triumph over the British army in 1776, the successes of the War of 1812 and the periods of adversity during the Civil War and Indian Wars that lasted over a quarter of a century. The courage and record of the United States Army remains unparalleled in the history of military warfare. Teddy Roosevelt's charge up San Juan Hill and the freeing of Cuba, as well as the conquest of the German and Japanese Forces in World War II reveal the true mettle of this legendary fighting force.

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 DVD |
In the 1980s determined researchers began scouring the world for color film shot during World War II, and the result of their quest is spectacular. Seeing the war through the ubiquitous black-and-white footage has always made the experience somewhat distant, but in clear, crisp color, the enormity of the war and its horrors is startling and dramatic. Films of Nazi rallies are all the more disturbing; a viewer seeing the scene in color realizes the massive crowds saluting Hitler are no longer gray and faceless masses, but gatherings of well- dressed civilians. Color combat footage, from across Europe and the Pacific, is frighteningly immediate, and some of it, showing the wounded, the dead, and even prisoners being executed, will no doubt be disturbing for many viewers. Violence and destruction on an unimaginable scale is vividly put on display, as are smaller moments of soldiers smiling for the camera or liberated prisoners from the concentration camps staring in pained bewilderment. The episodes, produced by the History Channel, are introduced by veteran journalist Roger Mudd, and the narration for each individual segment typically contains excerpts from letters and diaries describing events close to those depicted in the film footage. The footage used is of a surprisingly high quality (much of it was shot and stored away, virtually unseen for decades), and it provides a stunning look at how the war appeared to those fighting it.
