People's Century: Total War (DVD)

Discover WWII as seen through civilian eyes.


World War II was the first modern conflict in which millions more civilians died than soldiers. As economic production became essential to military success, civilians were conscripted into factories-and suddenly became fair game. People's Century: Total War (1939-1947) looks at this major change and fights to understand it. Through eyewitness testimony from Britain, Germany, Russia, Korea, Japan, and the United States this CD tells the story of the civilians who suffered and died during World War II. Residents of Plymouth, Tokyo, and Hamburg remember the air raids; Russian peasants recall the siege of Leningrad; Japanese soldiers and Korean slave laborers describe the brutality of war in Asia. Throughout this CD, the extraordinary suffering of a people's war is remembered. Unlike many other presentations on World War II, this comprehensive DVD shows the war from the side of the people-the children, brothers, and sisters who were innocent victims. As seen on PBS.
