Product Description
The terrible statistics of World War I are discussed in People's Century: Killing Fields -- Death on an Industrial Scale as the civilian body count is added to that of the soldiers'. At war's end the final count was nine million and the fields and trenches overflowed with the dead. The Battles of Verdun and Somme were two of the bloodiest encounters. The People's Century series emphasizes the role of the common citizen on events that impacted the entire world. After all the aerial bombings the mustard gas and the fighting the ordinary citizens made up a large part of the casualties. ~ Alice Day All Movie Guide System Requirements:Run Time: 56 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

"Killing Fields" provides a good overview of the First World War and its effects on all sides. As the first industrial war, it had a new impact, and this is explained very well.
