Editorial Review:
Product Description: This collection includes eleven episodes on three DVDs that were painstakingly researched and assembled to include rare original material and long-lost footage that takes viewers from the carefree Europe of the turn of the century to the uneasy peace that ended it. Narrated by Robert Ryan.

Highly recommended. I am utterly amazed by the quality of this 1964 production narrated by the late actor Robert Ryan. This may be among the very best ways to learn about World War One in roughly ten and a half hours. You cannot go wrong purchasing a copy. If nothing else, this set of programs filmed in approximately twenty-three minute segments will serve as a superb introduction. A history professor might wish to add The Complete Story: World War I to their list of required works.

However it doesn't touch all people. My only gripe is that there is little to no mention of the Red Baron!

...hinders the otherwise pretty excellent coverage. I bought this one after purchasing The First World War, based on Hew Strachan's book, and much prefer that one because of the seeming freshness of the material and the superb narration by Jonathan Lewis who also wrote, produced and directed the project. The narrative here by Robert Ryan (Hollywood Actor) is not nearly as good, is hard to stay interested in (after hearing Lewis) and, as another reviewer mentioned, seems dated. I found it to be performed ... Read More
