The series combines previously unseen footage from newly accessible archives in Central and Eastern Europe with exclusive film of many of the battlefields as they are today, studies of key participants and weaponry, and diary entries and letters home from soldiers, officers and commanders.

All 10 episodes as screened in this definite DVD collection.

THE FIRST WORLD WAR is based on the best-selling book by Professor Hew Strachan, Chichele Professor of the History of War at Oxford University and Visiting Professor at the University of Glasgow.
