Released by: MPI Home Video My Advice: Rent it if you’re a big history buff who can speak Russian, Chinese, Italian, Japanese, and Swedish; otherwise Borrow It. Before CNN, before 60 Minutes, even before the six o'clock network news, if people wanted to see the news they went to the movies and watched the newsreels. One of the first major producers of newsreels was British Pathe. Starting with the bi-weekly newsreel Pathe Gazette in 1910, their archives have over 3,500 hours of history captured on film. These newsreels and 'cinemagazines' are the primary source of material for Archives of War. The six programs cover the campaigns of WWI, the leaders and battles of WWII, the events and attitudes during the Cold War, and the conflicts in Korea and Vietnam. Categorized as: DVD and Reviews
