Universally acclaimed as one of the finest documentary series ever made about the Great War, Channel 4's THE FIRST WORLD WAR is a powerful, original and truly comprehensive account of the conflict.

It places the war in a truly global military context as never before, exploring many of the little known campaigns, battles and actions as well as the better known conflict on the Western Front.

The series combines previously unseen footage from newly accessible archives in Central and Eastern Europe with exclusive film of many of the battlefields as they are today, studies of key participants and weaponry, and diary entries and letters home from soldiers, officers and commanders.

All eleven episodes are included on this definitive DVD collection.

THE FIRST WORLD WAR is based on the best-selling book by Professor Hew Strachan, Chichele Professor of the History of War at Oxford University and Visiting Professor at the University of Glasgow.
