Encyclopedia of WWII - Box Set

Rating:
Summary: uninteresting and almost NO color film
Review: I would have given it zero stars if the system had let me. The set is arranged alphabetically, giving "articles" about various topics. They are all short and not particularly useful. I got this on tape a few years ago because it advertized it included color footage. However, there are only a few minutes of color in one article. The rest is the same b&w one can find anywhere. About the worst documentary I've seen. I gave mine to the local library within the week.

Summary: Boring,
Review: Thank god I only lost $15 on this 5 DVD set. My opinions on this set closely resemble what the other reviewers have brought up. I made it about 15 minutes through the first disk when I relized that I had just thrown my money down the drain. If you can stomach it, you will learn alittle, but it does not really seem to hammer any of the real important battles or facts on WWII. If you are totally clueless when it comes to WWII then you may want to give it a try (for a VERY cheap price), but if you already have a working knowledge on WWII I would look some place else.

Summary: Encyclopedia is a Bust
Review: The most dissappointing aspect of this set is the fact that one must wade through an entire CD to get to a specific sub title. There is no means for skipping directly to the topic of interest. Additionally, the brevity of each topic renders it, "not worth the money."
