Introduction
The World at War is a 26-episode British television documentary series chronicling the events of the Second World War.
Outline
The war effort required total commitment from British citizens stretching their bodies and spirits to the breaking point and occasionally beyond it. As a result of grim news early in the war, German bombing of British cities and disagreements on critical policies Churchill faced a no confidence vote. But extraordinary measures gradually put the kingdom on an effective war footing.
Home Fires: Britain (1940 to 1944) chronicles life and politics in Britain from post-Battle of Britain to the first V-1 attacks.
Interviewees include Lord Butler, Lord Shinwell, Lord Chandos, Tom Driberg, Michael Foot, Cecil Harmsworth King and J. B. Priestley.
