This visually stunning landmark series presents the story of the war viewed through the eyes of 12 Americans who fought in or contributed to the war effort. Featuring original, color footage never before seen, the series is narrated by Emmy Award winning actor Gary Sinise (CSI: NY). Using advanced HD technology, thousands of hours of color archival footage was preserved and restored, showing the war as it looked and sounded, with interviews and excerpts from unpublished diaries and journals.
