Campaigns in the Pacific: Islands of Death [4 Discs]

"This ambitious, epically-scaled documentary program offers a marathon-length chronicle of the Pacific Theater of the Second World War, and the United States' seemingly interminable struggle against the onslaught of Japanese Imperialism. Utilizing such elements as rare archival footage and interviews with veterans, the program proceeds chronologically. Its many touchstones include Pearl Harbor (in a chapter hauntingly titled 'A Day of Infamy'); America's immediate retaliation (with subtopics including The Battle for the Philippines, The Aleutian Patrol and The Invasion of Kiska); D-Day in the Pacific; The Battle of the Atlantic and The War in the Pacific."
