Movie Reviews of The History of Warfare: The Franco-Prussian War 1870-71
Movie Review: a good historical review
Summary: 4 Stars
Those looking for a sensational war film will be disappointed. Those looking for action, will be equally disappointed.
This DVD provides a well-balanced historical review of a very European war. Also in many respects a very important war, mostly due to its far-reaching political consequences. Anyway, a war resulting from the complex European politics most Americans aren't used to -- and don't like.
Be prepared for a couple of British university historians, extensively explaining this war and its whereabouts to you. Military as well as politically. The picturing on this DVD is meagre, for the simple reason that in 1870-'71 films did not exist and photography was primitive and clumsy.
Some criticism may be found in the (too) scarce use of maps. As well as in the lack of any modern shots of important 1870-'71 sites, and its memorials.
Watching this DVD is like getting a lecture on university level. It may be a little 'dry', but its quality is good.
