Description

Collected reviews and ratings

9.0 DVD Talk | John Sinnott

This documentary doesn't have the dramatic impact of films like The Big Parade or All Quiet on the Western Front, but it does an excellent job of explaining the war, examining the various theaters of battle and putting a human face on the suffering. Like Ken Burn's The Civil War, this show is an immensely entertaining and engrossing series that presents a thorough overview of this important event that shaped the 20th century.

At nearly eight-and-a-half hours, The First World War is one of the best historical documentaries ever made.
