This DVD is a documentary about World War II in the Pacific, specifically the island hopping strategy the allies-mostly US Marines and Army-used to bypass the Japanese defenders on many islands and the assualts by sea on other islands. Use of black and white film, actually made the DVD more interesting for me. The terrible battles of Guadacanal, Boogonville, Siapan, Iwo Jima and others are all shown on this documentary with actual combat footage. A real treat for WW II and history buffs and will appreciate. Five stars to this real life history.
Could have been put together a bit better but still a decent reference set. ...and yet here's another documentary claiming to cover all the highlites of WWII in the Pacific Arena....but there's no account of the Kamikaze sortie "en-masse" that seriously damaged our Navy. Had we not dropped the bomb, the 5th Fleet would have been wiped-out by an estimated 10 to one
figgered i should buy this b/c it looked good... havent gotten the movie yet, just trying to make the stupid ebay thing stop telling me i can fill out a review for it.... now im just trying to fill in words... it's really quite obnoxious that they make you do this, and then make you write 100 words for it too
Very good historical film. This fim actualy takes you back in time and let you see live footage of what occured during those days. Its a miracale what our great country had endured!
I don't know ~ It was purchased for my boss as a Christmas gift. I purchased it because he likes movies about this era and it was in my price range.
