I bought the entire series of Winds of War and War and Remembrance. I remembered seeing parts of it when it was televised in the 1980's and now wanted to see the entire series. It details the events leading up to and through the World War II era, while intertwining a storyline of an American Naval family. Aside from being a fascinating history lesson, it's also a fine example of extraordinary filmmaking. Though it is history, it's recent history, and a part of our history that should always be remembered. Those who fail to learn from history are destined to repeat it.
This, The Final Chapter, is the last six discs of the Mini-series. As with, "Winds Of War" and the first part of, "War and Remembrance" this last part, is the completion of a compelling story that I will enjoy watching again and again. It has a satisfactory ending and it is well worth watching for the person who enjoys period pieces.

I first watched this on t.v. when it aired. In my opinion there has never been or has to date been a series or movie that takes you through all aspects of WWII. You must watch this in reverence of the horror of the terrible plight of the Jewish race. It is one thing to read about it in the history books and to see the black and white newsreels that captured bits and pieces of what happened "over there". It is quite another to immerse yourself into the lives of these characters spanning the entirety of the great war...the journey of the Jewish characters. We must never forget, but always remember!

After buying and viewing Winds of War, I wanted to continue by getting War and Remembrance 2. War and Remembrance is very well done and more dramatic than Winds of War; understandable considering the subject. I feel the performances by Hart Bochner (Byron Henry) and Jane Seymour (Natilie Jastrow) were better and more accurate to the book (to me) than that of Jan-Michael Vincent and Ali McGraw in the same roles. If you liked Winds of War, you'll like this one, too.
Product did arrive as described - thank you. We have been wanting to re-watch this series since it aired in the 1980's. It was even better than we remembered- epic in scope and detail. Probably 1 of the top 2 best TV mini series ever produced. We really wanted to watch this during the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII. I can not believe it hasn't been re-run on TV since. It's a very important and accurate depiction of events from the time. It deserves many accolades and awards.
