100 hours of military history documentaries
AMERICA: STORIES OF WAR from MILL CREEK ENTERTAINMENT is a 24 disc war documentary set-- a total of 100 hours of programming. All DVDs are single-side, dual-layer recorded. Several of the documentaries included here are licensed exclusively to this manufacturer. Audio and video transfer quality is generally quite good, but does depend in some cases on condition of vintage stock footage.
This package is also available in combination with the COMBAT CLASSICS 50 MOVIE PACK in the AMERICA: STORIES OF WAR 36 DVD COLLECTION. This unique set comes stored in a sturdy replica ammo box, along with a 40-page contents booklet.

AMERICA DIVIDED (2008) - Includes vintage maps, photos, newspapers and art, plus re-enactor footage and animated break-downs of troop movements during battle. Narration:...

There is much here. The Civil War videos were good, as they take the viewer through the war with re-enactments and photos. Fair, even-handed and informative, as well as entertaining.
The World War I portion was easily the WORST of the lot. It had a chance to be very good, but they employ a narrator who clearly was over his head with this assignment. If you want to describe the First World War, you had better be comfortable pronouncing the names of French, Russian and German generals and statesmen, as well place names. If not, get some help with people who do. I found myself getting constantly distracted with the awful mis-pronunciations, and that made it hard to enjoy the films, which otherwise actually included some great footage. (Maybe I should listen with the sound turned down?)
The World War II discs were clearly the best. I'll take off a few points for the propaganda, but the footage was spectacular, and many included some very useful maps and diagrams...
