Composed of archival footage, vintage stills, political cartoons, and maps, this fast-paced documentary series chronicles "the war to end all wars."
Eleven episodes detail the progress of the war from beginning to end. For example, an early segment, "The War Begins," shows actual footage from the war’s inception in the summer of 1914: scores of refugees already on the run, jackbooted German troops marching through Belgium towards France, defiant Belgians fighting back in their operetta uniforms and patent leather helmets, and spectators lounging on the fringe of the action to watch—in this early stage, battle is still a spectator sport. Narrated by Robert Ryan.
