"Television has tended to look at the First World War through a veil of tears, seeing only a tragic waste of life in the mud of Flanders. This definitive series strips away ninety years of myopia to get back to the reality of the war. This was a global conflict from the start, involving nations in every continent and people of all classes an races. Using fresh archive footage and specially shot material from authentic locations in 22 countries, the multi-layered series demolishes myths and answers key questions from the origins of the war to its bitter end."@en

"Collection explores many of the little known campaigns, battles and actions as well as the better known Western Front campaigns. Combines previously unseen footage from newly accessible archives in Central and Eastern Europe with new film of many of the battlefields as they are today, studies of key participants and weaponry, and diary entries and letter homes from soldiers, officers and commanders."@en
