Hollywood went to war with gusto. The U.S. government "recruited" Hollywood's best directors and biggest stars to help in the war effort. Frank Capra, John Ford, Walt Disney, Clark Gable, Ronald Reagan and a host of others captured the incredible drama of World War II on film and brought it home to American audiences. These extraordinary wartime documentaries have now been gathered into this 26-episode compilation and include rare, behind the scenes interviews and never before seen footage and photographs. Hosted by Frank Capra, Jr. this collection includes Academy Award winners December 7th, The Battle of Midway, and Prelude to War. Conflicts represented in the series include World War II and Korea.
