Of Wars, Civil Wars and World Wars

The futility of wars in the guise as a political solution shows its ugly head in the toll of human sacrifice and needless expense of society's wealth just to satisfy the aggression of a few and mostly for the profits made by the military industrial complex. Our times shaped us into what we are and should have this wisdom, that the best predictor of the future is the past. Those who deny the past and those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it and suffer the consequences..ASC

World at War (Part I) (1942)

Portrayal of the steps that led up to Pearl Harbor and total mobilization of World War II.

Very well put together history of the events leading up to the war using mostly news archives from the US, and as well from other news organizations. This has a lot of footage you've seen before, (aka the taking over of Germany, Pearl Harbor) and some you havent (Whoa! I never knew the Nazi Party had a rally in NYC, In Madison Square Garden no less!!) so some of it is quite fascinating. The first half is better than the second half, which is, excuse the term, a bit pedestrian. And there's some rather spotty editing, not too sure if it's splices or what, but some scenes are badly put together. But still, amazing footage!

A feature length motion picture presenting step-by-step the events which led up to Pearl Harbor and total war. History, filmed as it happened, shows the massacre of Ethiopia, the invasion of Austria and Czechoslovakia, the blitz of Poland, the tragic fall of France. Material was taken from secret government archives.
