Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for the curious and history buffs.
The mood
Intense, eye-opening.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 5 hours in all.
What might put you off
Nothing much for most grown-ups.

The story of three decades of war told through the eyes of various men who were its key players: Roosevelt, Hitler, Patton, Mussolini, Churchill, Tojo, DeGaulle and MacArthur. The series examines the two wars as one contiguous timeline starting in 1914 and concluding in 1945 with these unique individuals coming of age in World War I before ultimately calling the shots in World War II.
