Short Review

The entire series is wrapped up here, as Capra recaps the story of how the war began and lead up to Pearl Harbor, but all told from the U.S. perspective, seeing what America did while events unfolded in Europe and Asia, and sometimes what they didn't do, and why it is important to fight now and stop the aggression of the Axis powers. It was an interesting look of how the War was presented to soldiers about to start fighting.
