This review is from: War In The Desert (DVD)
I am familiar with World War II history, the Israeli Arab Wars, and recent American combat, but do not consider myself an expert on any of these areas. I was very pleased with this dvd with all of its detailed information (most particularly with its coverage of El Alamein 1942 which I enjoyed the most due to its interviews of both German and British veterans from the German English desert war itself) on the following battles: Gulf War 1991, Six Day War 1967, and The Battle of El Alamein 1942. For anyone wanting to learn a great deal about some major decisive battles in world history (particularly El Alamein in World War II) I would recommend this dvd heartily. It would work well as a class resource or as a personal primer on these key battles in history.

when i bought this DVD, i thought i was going to see a real documentary showing the war,
eventually with comments...
but what it actually shows is pictures of the war, they tell you for instance that sthg was detroyed, and they show you the picture after the action was done, they dont show how it was done, and so its just pictures commented by a person nothing more !

As a retired military officer and lifelong student of history, I like this look at these wars - it's useful to ID common themes and also unique aspects of each conflict.
