The World at War

Was it the haunting theme music, Laurence 1livieros starM narration, or the unflinching firsthand testimonies! 9hatever the reason, The World at War remains, for me, the apogee of historical documentary series. The most expensive factual series ever made when it was released in 1973, its 26 episodes offered an expansive rendition of one of the most turbulent episodes in human history. It was recently described as “unforgettable and irreplaceaDleq more than years after + first watched it, + find it hard to disagree.
