    Re: Assisance in World Wars

    What do you mean by "complete video of world war 1 and world war 2". They'd take quite a long time to watch?

    Assuming you mean, "Can you recommend a decent documatary series?": I'm not aware of any free ones but if you con't mind spending a bit the Grand-Daddy of WW2 documentaties has got to be "The World At War". It's over £100 to buy new but I noticed that Amzon have some second hand for forty quid or so.

    The History Channel recently ran a couple of documentary series that were pretty good, World War 1 A Complete History and World War 2 A Complete History.

    Re: Assisance in World Wars

    I am a student of political science, which is my one of my favorite subject. in political, there are subjects concerning with international relations, so for understanding IR, world wars and many others historical wars are there in course. so i need some documentaries for that.

    Re: Assisance in World Wars

    I thought you wanted assistance in starting another World War. I was so excited...





    Phew... All you need is a video?

    Re: Assisance in World Wars

    Oh, never mind. For the record my comment was supposed to be funny. I don't intend to assist anyone in starting a World War, though I wouldn't mind starting one myself. I suspect a major reason for this is to start a war, you just need a malfunctioning brain. To assist in the same you need to have knowledge.

    It's generally best to check your sense of humour at the door befoer entering Chit chat. It won't last anyway.

    Adqusit, are you willing to spend some money and, if so, howmuc?. If you're looking for free stuff I think you'll struggle to find anything really good though you might find some checp stuff. If you don't mind sending a bit then there's some excellent recommendations I could make but they're generally not cheap.

    Also, would source books be of any intrest? If so "The World War I Source Book" by Philip J Haythornethwaite is excellent. This guy's written a few Source Boooks and they're all excellent, not sure if he's done WW2 though.

    Don't forget to include your decency, sanity and any self-respect you may have had as well.

    Re: Assisance in World Wars

    I doubt there is any series that is both comprehensive and in any way thorough for either war. In the US, the was is generally divided into two parts: The war in the Pacific, and the war in Europe. Furthermore, there is a tendency to ignore those early years. Frankly, any video that covered the Pacific war both widely and in any depth, would take weeks to watch even if you spent every day at it.

    As for WWI, I have seen very little about that war in any form. There are some excellent books (and lots of self serving ones), but very little video.

    honeybee, after your response, i went back and checked the who is the moderator of this forum. I thought you are. But thank God that you were not the moderator, otherwise no one would response to any post, because as a moderator you would not let anyone to response except only you and then all the time fighting and war would be there in this forum

    Whatever gave you the idea? FYI Moderators are marked as Moderators, while others are not. Thank god you got out of that illusion pretty fast.

    By 'malfunctioning brain' I mean a lunatic, a person of irrational mind, a madcap, an idiot, a crazy person, someone off his/her rocker or whatever else you call those chaps who think the whole world is against them and start out a war.

    I have a doubt your last post was a humerous one and not a serious one.

    Anyways I can send you some excellent videos from the Medal of Honour game. But then you could get them from Saving Private Ryan too.
