Second World War - 21 volume set? (3/8/05)
So I'm browsing Amazon's upcoming release lists for March 8th and I run across this series. Here I made a Listamania List for them.
From what I gather, this is a brand new series and from Amazon specs, they're in color and have a run-time of 120 minutes each.
Anybody heard about or seen this series?

you get the whole list.
Here's the link to the Box set:

The "Consice History of the Second World War" (priced at $12.98, so not a whole bunch of disks at that price! ) is a part of the above listed box set, according to the BN Box Set webpage listed above.
BN does have all the 21 disks available separately and listed separately as well.

I think I'll go for the single volume discs. I figure I may buy one or two to check out the quality and worthwhileness of the series, (They're about $.50 cheaper at DeepDiscount) and then every now and then, buy a few more every now and then until the collection is complete.
I was hoping to find a review of this series somewhere.

Comparing run-times here, I see the classic "The World at War" set lists at 720 minutes for a $109.50 @ DDD or $112.46 @ Amazon.
This "Second World War" set would run $179.97 @ DDD or $190.89 @ Amazon for a run-time of 2520 minutes. And if this set is truely in color, that would be some awesome value.

A&E's 11-DVD set of "The World At War" has a total running time of about 2068 minutes and is worth every penny. And if you crunch the numbers, "The World At War" comes out as a better bargain:
World At War: 11 discs, 2068 min. (34.5 hours), about $110 = $3.19 per hour
Second WW: 21 discs, 2520 min. (42 hours), about $180 = $4.29 per hour
