World War II - The Leaders documents the most powerful men involved with the most destructive war in history. From Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini and Emperor Hirohito to Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Josef Stalin, witness their public appearances and judge public reaction to their crucial roles in history. The Archives of War is a fascinating four-volume collection of wartime images ranging from the trenches of World War I, through the unparalleled destruction of World War II, to the Cold War's atomic arsenals. Most of this material, shot on 35mm film by British Pathe´ News, has never been seen by U.S. audiences. Thus it offers a fresh visual treatment of the major conflicts in the 20th century. 'Only the warmongers think there will be war. I think there will be a long period of peace.' Adolf Hitler |
