Don’t let the title scare you away if you don’t have a state-of-the art HD TV to view it on because this engrossing series would be worth watching on an Ipod. The producers combed through more than 3000 hours of lost and rare color archival footage to make this show, and the final result is absolutely fascinating. It’s also deeply disturbing to see some of the raw footage in the series, particularly the scenes of the bloody aftermath of battle. You can distance yourself when you see such images like this in grainy black and white, but seeing them in living color gives them an emotional depth that is undeniable.
