About this product

Product Information

This fictional tale is infused with a heavy dose of reality. Based on the experiences of the occupants who resided on the Channel Islands in 1940, ISLAND AT WAR offers a very real snapshot of what life could have been like if the Nazi threat had been successful. The Channel Islands were the only part of Britain to be occupied by the German army during the battle, with the residents having to undergo a horrendous five year ordeal at the hands of the Nazi's. ISLAND AT WAR draws on the experiences of the islanders, and spins a tale packed full of violence, romance, and incredible tension. Originally shown on Masterpiece Theater, this is a unique depiction of World War II that should have equal appeal to historians and television drama fans alike.

Excellent! Well-acted and historically fascinating.
Island At War is an excellent PBS series that is both historically informative and shows the effect that war and invasion can have on people. The characters are very engaging and the series effectively captures the look and feel of that time. I really enjoyed it very much!

Buy it.
The drama and acting are as good as it gets. Very engaging stories of what a German occupation really meant. Some of the Germans are great people you would love to know in a setting without the war.

A Brilliant Series!
One of the best WWII dramas I've seen. Characters are completely fleshed out and varied, story line is super engaging and it hooks you right from the beginning of the first episode. This is brilliant drama, and they don't come around very often.

Island At War
A very good series about WWII in England during WWII. This movie has a fictional name but it is supposed to be what happened on the Channel Islands.

Tells the history of the Channel Islands during WWII in an engaging way. The characters ALL work to tell the history so my 7th grader gets it.
