History Classics: The Color of War [5 Discs]

"This ambitious, historically-themed documentary miniseries travels beyond textbook perceptions of World War II to present the conflict on a more immediate, human level. It does so by weaving together the voices of numerous veterans into a giant tapestry of oral history. This results in a greater level of intimacy than many are accustomed to getting in regard to the central subject. Peter Coyote narrates the thirteen episodes, which include Face to Face, At Ease, Homefront, Covering War and Dressed to Kill."
