THE DRAMA OF WORLD WAR II''S EXCITING WAR AT SEA IS BRILLIANTLY DETAILED IN THIS LEGENDARY, AWARD-WINNING HISTORICAL EPIC THAT HAS BEEN HAILED AS ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL DOCUMENTARIES IN TELEVISION HISTORY. THE 26 HALF-HOUR EPISODES WERE COMPILED FROM OVER 13,000 HOURS OF AUTHENTIC COMBAT FOOTAGE SHOT BY THE U.S., BRITISH, GERMAN, AND JAPANESE NAVIES DURING EVERY MAJOR NAVAL ENGAGEMENT OF WORLD WAR II, FROM THE NAZI WOLFPACKS TO THE BATTLE OF OKINAWA. NARRATED BY LEONARD GRAVES WITH ORIGINAL MUSIC BY FAMED COMPOSER RICHARD RODGERS, THIS 1952 SERIES IS A LANDMARK CLASSIC THAT STILL REMAINS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE ACCOUNT OF WORLD WAR II''S NAVAL BATTLES.
