Remembering World War I (3-CD Set): Remembering World War I 3CD Set |
| Product Description : When World War I was launched, it was optimistically believed that it would ?be over by Christmas?. What ensued was a drawn out four-year period of extremely bloody aggression that took a heavy toll on young enlisted men, primarily in the fields and trenches of Northern France and Belgium. The technology of warfare considered state-of-the-art while the hostilities developed and unfolded is, of course, visible only in museums now. However, it did manage to consume the lives of 10 million soldiers and civilians, so it was certainly effective. The fighter plane, poison gas and the tank came into being during this era, so there was definitely an element of ?progress?. And what it lacked in technology, it made up in enthusiasm. It does not really matter what our personal standpoints on war through the ages are - the fact is that it will apparently always be with us. Mankind has, over and over again, displayed an insatiable appetite for decimating itself on the battlefield. Mass destruction on any serious scale first saw the light of day during the Great War of 1914 -1918. We are perfecting the art constantly, and it would seem that we will do a complete job of it one day. If this is at all preventable, it will only be with the wisdom born of thoughtful hindsight. Watch the Remembering World War I 3-CD set with your family. Encourage discussion on what you see, hear and feel afterwards. The present generation is in the unique position of evaluating World War I and the one that followed - and the Third will either be fought or foiled by them.... |
