…Hitler. Churchill. De Gaulle. MacArthur. Patton. Stalin. Mussolini. We know them as legends. But they first learn what it will take to rise to greatness as young soldiers, fighting for their lives on the frontlines. This is the story of a generation of men who come of age in the trenches of World War I, only to become the leaders of World War II. The lessons they learn on the frontlines shape them as they rise to power—and haunt them as the deadly fighting breaks out again. Some become heroes, forged in courage under fire. Others emerge as the most infamous villains the world has ever seen. Theirs is one story—the story of a 30-year global struggle. A fight that will either save the world—or destroy it…" Trailer here

Meh, this one was discussed pretty extensively already, I don't think it had a very positive reception in this crowd, sadly. Don't get your hopes up, it is the History Channel, now back to shows about Nazis and Alien conspiracies. |

Finally!. History Channel shows some history!. Sorry, Armand, but while it shows some history its accuracy is spotty at best. The only leader discussed in any detail is Hitler. Only two military leaders are covered: MacArthur and Patton. A lot of the footage used to illustrate what they were discussing had nothing to do the subject. As I said in the Parlor: "The entire series sounded like a high school essay being used as an example of the "dumbing down of America"." Tim |
