A brilliant visual account of the First World War, which was initiated by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and concluded four years later after the death of tens of millions of soldiers and civilians. The Great War ushered in the 20th Century. It was The War to End All Wars, - a senseless slaughter that set the stage for the bloodiest century of human history. Yet, it was more than just a war between nations. It was a war between what was and what was to be. The old world was dying and the new world had yet to be born. People of all classes saw the conflict as a great cleansing fire that would lead to a better world. But, when it was over, more than men had died in the mud of the battlefields; the naïve dreams of progress - along with the innocence of the pre-war world - faith in God and hope in the future had all died in the trenches of Europe as well. The Great War DVD presents it all by way of astonishing period footage. A must have historical documentary of the most important event of the 20th century.

While negotiations took place between Tokyo and Washington Japanese planes attacked the U.S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor. Nineteen of the navy's vessels including eight battleships were sunk or damaged. 188 U.S. planes were destroyed. Military casualties: 1 109 wounded 2 280 killed. 68 civilians also died. Hours later America declared war on Japan...and the world would never be the same. There were many charges of negligence against those responsible for Pear Harbor's defence. A special commission appointed by president Roosevelt harshly accused the Army and Navy commanders at Pearl Harbor claiming that officers at the base were derelict in their duties. But were they? America's Darkest Day examines these questions about why the American forces at Pearl Harbour were caught so off-guard. Look behind the scenes in Washington where some claim that Roosevelt could have been given knowledge of the attack the night before the first strike. Was Roosevelt unaware of the impending attack or did he need a defining moment to get America around the Neutrality Act - a defining moment that would force America to help its allies alreay at war? America's Darkest Day also features actual footage shot on Japanese ships and includes hour by hour and minute by minute accounts of the events leading up to that fatal hour.
