Sir Jeremy Isaacs highly deserves the numerous awards
for documentaries he has earned: the Royal Television
Society's Desmond Davis Award, l'Ordre National du Mιrit,
an Emmy, and a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II. His
epic The World at War remains unsurpassed as the
definitive visual history of World War II.
The Second World War was different from other wars in
thousands of ways, one of which was the unparalleled
scope of visual documents kept by the Axis and Allies of
all their activities. As a result, this war is
understood as much through written histories as it is
through its powerful images. The Nazis were particularly
thorough in documenting even the most abhorrent of the
atrocities they were committing--in a surprising amount
of color footage. The World at War was one of the first
television documentaries that exploited these resources
so completely, giving viewers an unbelievable visual
guide to the greatest event in the 20th century.
