History® is proud to present the definitive collection of documentary programs on World War One. Experience the world-changing events from the birth of what became known as The Great War to the tragic, final day where over 13,000 men died. In the four year period from 1914 - 1918, the war was responsible for over 40 million casualties and over 20 million deaths. Join the brave servicemen of land, sea, and air as they valiantly fought alongside their Allied brothers in this "war to end all wars."

Set includes:

Disc 1:
Most Decorated: The Doughboys
Comprised of innocent teenage farm boys, the doughboys in Europe faced a most horrific warfare with machine guns, mustard gas, and artillery shells. New weapons and old tactics turned an infantry charge into an act of mass suicide for the brave young soldiers of WWI.

WWI: Death of Glory
World War I was in every way more epochal and earth-shaking than World War II. After World War I, nothing was recognizable. What was rebuilt was a shadow of the greatness and history that had been destroyed.

Secrets of World War I
Experts discuss the political personalities and intolerance behind the "War to End All Wars." Discover the history behind the first weapons of mass destruction, why they were created, and how they were made. Look at documents that were once classified for reasons of national security and discover why they were kept secret until now.

Disc 2:
The First Dogfighters
Cinch your goggles and fly with the first great aces of WWI. Experience a time when, with open cockpits and unaided targeting, aces literally saw the whites of their foes' eyes. In canvas-and-wire biplanes, these dashing warriors engaged in classic duels, inventing tactics "on the fly".

Red Baron and The Wings of Death
The legendary World War I flying ace, Manfred von Richthofen, managed 80 kills over WWI Europe. Watch this pioneer of the dogfight as he meets his greatest challenge- a warplane seemingly designed for the express purpose of bringing him down.

Airships
From bombing runs to the high-flying spy balloons that soared out of the reach of enemy planes and guns, see how airships, dirigibles, and zeppelins affected World War I.

Mystery U-Boat of WWI
A veteran of the brutal naval battles of World War I, the German submarine UB-107 was discovered on the floor of the North Sea in 1985. An important find itself, it harbored a surprise that would force experts to re-examine the records of the epic conflict.

John J. Pershing: The Iron General

The Complete Story: World War I.  Military History Video.  DVD.  CBS News.  Boxed set of 3 discs.  10 Hours and 45 minutes.

Excellent documentary series produced by CBS News in the early sixties and superbly narrated by the late Robert Ryan, still has an edge over the many others that were produced recently.  Lots and lots of photographic and film footage, especially of the German invasion of neutral Belgium, the air and sea war, the sinking of the Lusitania, but sadly lacking in many other series. This series remains remarkably comprehensive and engaging and well worth purchasing.  If you like your history in large doses and complete then you will enjoy this three disc set.

It is non-political, it does not take sides, what it does is show with clarity and feeling the effect war had on the entire world. The social, economic, and political realities of the day are explained.  You may be impressed with the research and scholarly approach taken by the film makers in this epic documentary.

There are over 70 episodes within the three volume set. Everyone who watches will gain an appreciation for how WWI changed the geo-political landscape forever. After watching this series, you will be able to understand in depth what Lawrence of Arabia meant to the Arabs.

It's beautifully narrated, in a pithy, easy-to-understand narrative, and the images are first class. This collection is designed to give the viewers a "big picture" of the so-called "War to End all Wars." While it shows all of the major battles, it is not intended for military buffs, but to an audience that cares about the politics behind the major military decisions, the role of the ordinary people, their plight, and the spreading of the conflict even to Japan and China.  Also, it takes into account the early surrender of Russia and the rise of Lenin's Soviet Union. To sum up, it offers a great panoramic view of the conflict.

Highly recommended!
