50th Anniversary Collector's Edition

The Legendary World War II Documentary
Considered the most influential documentary in television history, Victory At Sea, in the words of Harper's Weekly, "created a new art form." The 26 episodes were culled from over 13,000 hours of footage shot by the U.S., British, German, and Japanese navies during World War II. Narrated by Leonard Graves and set to a score by Richard Rodgers, this program offered a remarkable look at the realities of naval warfare and the extraordinary challenges faced by the Allies. From U-boat "wolf packs" to the epic battles at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, every major national engagement of World War II is captured in some of the most riveting combat footage ever shot.

Now, the complete landmark series is available on DVD for the first time. And, to celebrate this 50th anniversary release, television legend Peter Graves (Mission: Impossible) enriches the viewing experiences by framing each classic episode of this Emmy and Peabody award-winning series against the World War II cultural and political landscape.
