This is THE dvd set to buy.
This was a HUGE surprise, one of the best WWII documentaries I’ve watched. Too many docs tend to use the same footage and shallow story line. This one really goes into detail. No matter how much of a history buff you are, odds are you are going to learn something with this set. After seeing Hacksaw Ridge and reading The Old Breed I felt I needed to brush up on my history a bit and bought several DVD sets on Amazon, this one was by far the best.

Excellent overview of WW2 for novices. Good bits for WW2 buffs.
Despite having a huge amount of documentaries and other films about WW2, I still learned some new things. Even WW2 buffs might find things of interest. For WW2 novices, I highly recommend this DVD as a way to initiate your knowledge of this history changing event. As expected, this is black and white but the sound is excellent. Visual quality is certainly adequate considering the technology of the time and the circumstances inherent in combat photography.

1/2 of 2 part documentary
Pretty good documentary. I purchased it several years back and enjoyed it . I lost disc one and so reordered it. All that was sent was disc 2. So I still don’t have what I wanted.

I thought this was the DVD version of the great Ronald Spector book by the same name
In fact, I thought this was the DVD version of the great Ronald Spector book by the same name. This DVD is for those that want the Cliffs Notes of the war in the pacific, I mean the 100,000 foot high version. The quality of the video is fair, some would argue less than fair. Some of the conclusions in the film are glossed over and lots of important events omitted. This was probably created for the AHC or similar channel that has a budget. So, if you want to get the high level view of what happened and not necessarily why it happened nor too much detail, then this may be for you. If you want a riveting, detailed, thoroughly absorbing account of the events, what really happened, and the painstakingly detailed whys, of the war in the pacific, get the Spector book. I am giving this 3 stars because, I cannot give it 2 1/2 stars.

Excellent treatment.
Excellent treatment because of the comments and commentary, Much of film is stock but that is acceptable if in context as here. Avoids the horrible background musical score and deafening volume that Overwhelms too many documentaries of this type ( Most horrendously and unhappily, “Victory At Sea”). Valuable addition to my library.

Most of the film footage has been around on all the other documentaries which is to be expected. Additional details and valuable eyewitness accounts add to the chapters. I was happy that there was no loud annoying music overplaying the video as in some programs I have seen.

The Pacific Campaign was so large in scope that no 2-disc series could hope to cover all the actions. I liked the interviews with the servicemen who participated in this great campaign. These interviews offered a more human touch to this part of WW 2, than a straight account of the facts of each action would have done. This series went into the reasons for the actions covered in this rendition. It provided a different look into the Pacific Theatre than some of the other accounts in my collection.
