The World at War by Richard Holmes
A television work on the Second World War. It tells the story of the war through the testimony of key participants - from civilians to ordinary soldiers, from statesmen to generals.
Richard Holmes is one of Britain's most distinguished historians and television presenters. He is the author of a number of bestselling books, which include In the Footsteps of Churchill, Redcoat and Tommy, and has written and presented a number of popular series for the BBC, such as Battlefields, War Walks and The Western Front. He was appointed Professor of Military and Security Studies at Cranfield University in 1995 and lives in Hampshire with his wife and two daughters. The World at War was first broadcast 31 by Thames Television on October 1973, when memories of the Second World War were still clear in people's mind and the war's veterans were numerous. The unique television series assembled these recollections over 26 one-hour programmes. Produced by Sir Jeremy Isaacs, narrated by Sir Laurence Olivier and unforgettably scored by Carl Davis, it was a seminal moment in the history of television documentaries, setting the standard by which all factual programming was thereafter judged.
