Century Of Warfare

The pages of military history are filled to overflowing with great moments and heroic deeds. Tales of heroism and self-sacrifice are evenly spread among all service branches, yet one branch of America´s military has achieved an aura that surpasses that of its brethren. The United States Marine Corp. The mental and moral qualities of the United States Marines have been tested constantly since the birth of the nation, and World War II was arguably the Marines greatest ordeal by fire.

The 20th Century began with America on the sidelines of world conflict, but before the end of the century, America would stand alone as the most powerful military nation in the history of world.

This 2 DVD set documents America´s rise, from the horse-drawn cannons of World War I to the laser guided missiles of Desert Storm. Century of Warfare chronicles the crucial
battle engagements that shaped the outcomes of the great conflicts of the 20th Century, changing the world and the face of America, forever. Beginning with the events preceding World War I, Century of Warfare details the combat history of World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and Operation Desert Storm, using authentic archival footage and extensive interviews with veterans and historians.
