Modern Warfare - Military History Video.  DVD. 7 Hours.
See the sparks of today's conflicts in yesterday's explosive wars. ITN British News cameras capture military tactics and warfare that is frighteningly relevant today.

Disc #1: Korea & The Vietnam War - In June 1950, North Korean troops invaded South Korea, and the Korean War was ignited. Featuring remarkable battlefield and combat footage of offensives at Pork Chop Hill, the Choisin Reservoir, Heartbreak Ridge and more.

The Vietnam War was fought for the defense of democracy. Ten long years of vicious combat--including the Tet Offensive and bloodshed at Hue and Saigon--permanently embedded the Vietnam War in the American consciousness.

Disc #2: The Six Day War & Yom Kippur War - Arab nations united in antagonism with the goal of wiping Israel off of the map during the Six-Day War. In one of the largest battles in the history of armored warfare, Israel devastatingly demonstrated its military might.

In 1973, border conflicts arose again in the Middle East. Egypt and Syria coordinated a surprise attack on Israel, who mobilized troops, technology and tactics with speed and precision.

Disc #3: Iran/Iraq & Russia in Afghanistan - Iraqi troops stormed Iran in 1980, expecting an easy victory. The Iranians rallied, however, using their much-larger population, and were able to push the invaders out.

In 1979, the Soviets had ill-suited uniforms and inferior fighting tactics, and found it impossible to defeat the popular Afghan guerrilla army. They had underestimated their enemy and lacked the forces to win.

Disc #4: Falklands & Lebanon - The battle between the UK and Argentina over claims to the Falkland Islands systematically merged weapons technology of air, sea and ground. An Argentinean invasion yielded a bombardment of speed, weaponry and destruction.

In 1982, the Lebanon-based Palestinian Liberation Organization began infiltrating Israeli borders with attacks that brought swift and powerful reprisals. Massive artillery and mortar attacks were traded across the border.

Disc #5: The Persian Gulf War - Iraq’s 1990 invasion of Kuwait resulted in more than one million troops facing off against each other in the desert of the Persian Gulf. The Allied Coalition’s air war, known as Operation Desert Storm, involved the most sophisticated technological weaponry available.

The ground war was known as Operation Desert Saber and utilized ground systems including the impressive M1A1 Abrams and the M1M-104 Patriot and demonstrated the precision of American military maneuverability.

Disc #6: Terrorism & Special Forces - When the Middle East adapted the IRA car bomb into the suicide bomb, the very nature of terrorism changed. Hi-jacking, violent raids and the taking of hostages became the standards of unfair play.

From World War II to the present, witness the daring heroics of Britain’s SAS (Special Air Service) and SBS (Special Boat Service), and meet America’s Delta Force.

World War II - Combat Chronicles - Military History Video.  DVD.  12 Hours.
Over twelve hours of action-packed footage!

Disc #1: Attack and Counterattack (1941-1943) - On December 7, 1941, the horrific Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor destroyed the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
   American morale reeled, but within six months, it was the enemy’s turn to suffer at the Battle of Midway.
   The U.S. went on the offensive, launching a deadly campaign of amphibious assaults that began with the Solomon Islands. It was there that US forces would learn the grueling and bloody nature of war in the Pacific–Guadalcanal.
   This comprehensive look at the earliest battles of World War II features actual live-action footage and gripping, dramatic wartime storytelling.

Disc #2: Victory in the Pacific (1944-1945) - The tide of war was turning and the Japanese were on the run.
   Tinian fell and US captured airbases within striking distance of Tokyo. In October 1944, Japan’s imperial Navy was effectively knocked out of the war in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, followed by Iwo Jima and a 36-day battle that was the bloodiest in Marine Corps history.
   Finally they reached Okinawa, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, the last strongholds. The empire of the Rising Sun was falling.

Disc #3: Stories From Battleship Row - America never thought the Japanese could attack U.S. forces at Pearl Harbor – especially without warning. Leaders downplayed the threat to the Pacific Fleet, while focusing on the Nazi threat in Europe.
   Did Roosevelt conspire with Churchill to get America into World War II, even if it meant being attacked by Japan? Why was America taken by surprise? Learn what really happened during the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor.


Disc #4: The Pacific War on Film - View the fascinating conflicts of World War II as they were captured on film. This program presents a trio of wartime documentaries produced by Academy Award-winning director John Ford.
   His award-winning December 7, 1941 tells the story of Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. Shot in color, The Battle of Midway gives a blow-by-blow account of the most important naval campaign in the Pacific, and The Fighting Lady, a firsthand look at combat operations on board the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown.

Disc #5: Crucial Turning Points - Get an up-close look at the fifteen crucial battles that changed the course of the war and altered America’s destiny forever!
   Caught in the onslaught of the seemingly invincible Axis war machine, the US had to fight back! This is the story of how we won, battle by battle, moment by crucial moment.
   Whether on land at Guadalcanal, Normandy, and Iwo Jima; at sea in the Battle of the Atlantic and the German subs plaguing the ocean; or in the air during Pearl Harbor and Doolittle’s B-25 raid, these action-crammed turning points are covered in compelling detail.

Disc #6: Headline Stories of the 20th Century - The theatrical newsreel documented World War II with energy and thoroughness–qualities on display in the eighty-four Hearst newsreels assembled in this invaluable collection.
   The remarkable footage covers such dramatic events as the rise of Hitler, the outbreak of war in Europe, the attack on Pearl Harbor, the battle at Guadalcanal, the D-Day invasion, the discovery of Auschwitz and the other camps, and much more.

Extra Feature: Our Time in Hell - One of the most powerful depictions of World War II ever caught on film, this special program features the candid first-hand account of a US Marine’s horrific experiences during World War II.
