"### Review ""Compelling.""┬á *ÔÇöLibrary Journal* ""What sets Richard Holmes apart is the sheer quality of his writing and his empathy with his subjects.""┬á *ÔÇöIndependent* ""*The World at War* was one of the greatest television series of all time. It demonstrated the potential power of history on television and inspired a generation. It is tremendously exciting that the complete interviews with the participants . . . are now published here for the first time. Most of the people who were interviewed for the series are now dead, but their vital historyÔÇöthanks to this bookÔÇöstill lives.""*┬á ÔÇö*Laurence Rees, author,* Auschwitz* ""A treasure trove of eyewitness accounts.""*┬á ÔÇöBBC History Magazine* ""Holmes has a sharp, knowing eye for anecdote and detail.""┬á *ÔÇöMail on Sunday* ### Product Description *The World at War* is the definitive television work on the Second World War. It set out to tell the story of the war through the testimony of key participants - from civilians to ordinary soldiers, from statesmen to generals. First broadcast in 1973, the result was a unique and irreplaceable record since many of the eyewitnesses captured on film did not have long to live. The programme's producers committed hundreds of interview-hours to tape in its creation, but only a fraction of that material made it to the final cut. For more than 30 years the interviews have never been allowed to be published - until now. Highly respected historian and bestselling author Richard Holmes has skilfully woven this valuable original material into a compelling narrative, creating a truly phenomenal oral history of the Second World War." |
