Great historical look at the Korean War with real footage of the war. Highly recommend. Read more
The best, and most coherent, video documentary on the Korea War that I've seen. The series came to my attention while watching the Military or History channel when I caught a couple of episodes. I looked to see if Amazon had it and fortunately they did. I only wish, as a Army Officer who recently served a tour Korea, that I'd seen this documentary prior to being stationed there, it would have given me a deeper appreciation and understanding of our role in that now wonderful country.

More Americans need to care about history especially forgotten history like the Korean war. Read more
For a History Channel production it was pretty good. They used some footage over a few times and older movies like Retreat Hell and Pork Chop Hill had some real footage that rivaled what HC dug up. The narrative was ok and informative of a topic I only had limited exposure to with a couple of books. It is not a waste of money. Read more
The information is presented in what appears to be an unbiased fashion and provides insight into a dark part of this country's history. Read more
View this series and Tae Guk Gi to get a good reference on the history of the Korean War, and fighting a war between free peoples, and hard core socialists; the first modern 'total' war fought to an armistice, as victory could have lead to a war of global powers. Read more
I found this program to be a very well done and complete history of the Korean conflict. It details what has become, unfortunately, a little known part of our history. The documentary gives a good overall view of the events leading up to and surrounding the Korean War. A good watch for anyone who is interested in American and world history. Read more
I really enjoyed this documentary, and will watch it again. Three good points and a bad: Edward Hermann is an outstanding narrator. He oozes credibility. The cinematography and editing were also very engaging. Finally, in four discs, the series was information dense, and I particularly appreciated the emphasis on the politics of the war. The one thing I would have like to see more about was the campaign at Chosin. I have heard quite a bit about it from other sources, but didn't see much in this series. Overall, a great investment for a history hobbyist or student. Read more
