MILITARY HISTORY DVDs: World War I, World War II, The Korean War
You could sit through 14 hours of History Channel documentaries about World War I, yet still not grasp the big picture. You could hear scores of personal anecdotes in a Ken Burns miniseries on World War II, yet never learn any useful information about the conflict itself. It does not require weeks of TV viewing to gain an understanding of key events in our history. What it takes is a series of smartly-crafted documentaries that don't get bogged down in unimportant details or irrelevant side-stories. We know your time is limited. We know you want to get down to the business of gaining insight.
The
military history movies offered here provide complete chronological overviews
of the events, from each war's cause to its aftermath, with all
the battles and political maneuverings in between. Every one of these
documentaries makes heavy use of motion picture footage from a variety of
combat and newsreel film archives. Concise, informative narratives never
get derailed by superfluous side-commentaries. We proudly offer the
following military history DVDs, which we believe are the best of their kind:
World War I is a subject rapidly fading from our cultural memory. Motion picture technology was in its infancy when the "Great War" erupted in 1914, and this was the first major conflict covered by battlefield cameramen. After years of hunting and accumulating archival footage of this war, we digitized the images for the ultimate historical record. The end-result is an all-encompassing movie with an easy-to-follow, "blow by blow" narrative. World War I is available only in two places: The National World War I Museum in Kansas City or this website. (Running time: 1 hour, 36 minutes. Production date: 2004. All-region NTSC DVD.)
World War II is a subject of countless documentaries, most of which focus on specific aspects of the conflict without ever providing an overview of the entire war itself. Now, finally, you can learn everything you need to know about WW2 in less than 2 hours! That may seem fast, but through intelligent movie editing, this DVD is all-inclusive in offering the broad perspective, from origin to outcome. WHAT YOU WILL SEE: Authentic combat and newsreel footage, painstakingly re-mastered to digital video. WHAT YOU WILL HEAR: A "cut-to-the-chase" narrative backed by dynamically enhanced location sounds and a subtle, yet inspiring, musical score. It's the only DVD you'll ever need on the subject of the Second World War. You will find World War II exclusively here at history2u.com—nowhere else. (Running time: 2 hours. Production date: 2004. All-region NTSC DVD.)
The Korean War is an event few Americans know much about—and that's a shame. Often called “forgotten war,” it demonstrated the consequences of limited, restrictive warfare—lessons that should have been heeded by political decision-makers in later military campaigns. In 1950, Russia and China tested western resolve, backing communist North Korea’s invasion of its fledgling democratic counterpart, South Korea. As the first conflict fought under the United Nations banner, divided interests among member nations forced President Harry Truman to abandon his initial goal of outright victory in exchange for the “limited war” approach. The strategy reversal put the president at odds with his general in the field, Douglas MacArthur, resulting MacArthur's firing. Despite the political controversies, there were many triumphs on the part of valiant American and allied fighters, including the unyielding stand at the Pusan perimeter, MacArthur’s brilliant Inchon invasion, and the drive to the Manchurian border. This movie provides a vivid overview of the war, combining American battlefield footage with rarely seen North Korean and Chinese archival images. Everything you need to know on the subject is here. (Running time: 1 hour, 24 minutes. Production date: 2006. All-region NTSC DVD.)

Americans, know your government!
We
are constantly shocked, amused, horrified, and bewildered by many of the
things we hear from politicians and journalists discussing constitutional
issues. For anyone who wants to know what the Constitution actually says,
and what America's founders intended, we offer United States Government:
Origin, Structure, and Intent. Be forewarned, this is no kiddy show.
Though only a couple of hours long, this DVD crash course is packed with essential
information on the origins of our constitutional republic, the real role of each
branch of government, and the Founders' intentions behind the articles of the
Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The program ends with a reflection
on the consequences of loose constitutional interpretation. If you're registered
to vote, you need to arm yourself with this essential tool for American citizenship.
(Running time: 1 hour, 53 minutes. Production date: 2004. All-region
NTSC DVD.)
