Title: amazing historical presentation of Pacific War
Product review: This takes the Band of Brothers sort of WWII series to new level. The Blu Ray is amazing for both visuals and sound. Forget all the blathering by right wingers, this shows the horrible conditions faced by Marines in the Pacific, honors their bravery and courage, and makes it plain that fighting the Japanese could be a lot more brutal than fighting the "civilized" Germans. One thing I miss with this is a lack of coverage of Navy and naval battles. You only get a sense of what is going on in the water on a few occasions. While this is not completely historically accurate--it is a composite based on several classic WWII memoirs--it does a good job with its source material. It does an especially decent treatment of Sledge's "With the Old Breed" (which is a must read for anyone interested in WWII combat from a Marine's perspective.)
