The Winds of War is the prequel to War and Remembrance. Arguably, it was a better book and a better miniseries.

Not to mention, a better value. The distributor broke War and Remembrance into two sets and charged an outrageous price for both. Winds of War is far more reasonable.

That's because War & Rememberance is twice as long as The Winds Of War.

I certainly recommend WoW. I remember first watching it when I was 12 or 13. Got the box set the other day - I'm in the middle of episode 2.
You should definitely watch WoW before W&R.
Kind of weird to think back to how the networks, particularly ABC, did these epic miniseries. No way they would do these today (2-parters at most).

Has anyone had problems with the second "War and Remembrance" box set. I've had to return 2 sets because of breakup & freezing problems on the same disc. (Yes I cleaned them & tried a second player)

I received my shipment today. The individual discs are in those super slim keepcases, double damn & triple damnation!!!!!!!!! I guess I'll have to design my own 7 disc keepcase cover.

That's my favorite type of box set packaging.

I Love those Big Fat Alpha type keepcases!!!! I may be the only one on several Discussion Boards who says he likes them, but I continue to see that InetDVD is selling them, so someone is buying them other than me!

[Never mind -- confused the last post with WoW, which by the way is available for $49.99 at Costco.]
I picked up W&R from Deep Discount DVD when they were having their Christmas sale and I think it came in around $100 per set.
