TV: The World Wars (Miniseries)

[Frank W. Baker]

Narrated by two-time Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker, The Town), The World Wars, a three-night event (premiering Memorial Day, May 26, on The History Channel) features gripping dramatic scenes, stunning CGI visuals and interviews with contemporary leaders, including John McCain, Colin Powell, John Major and David Miliband, along with noted historians from around the world. The World Wars is a mini-series event that takes viewers on an epic and groundbreaking ride through the bloodiest century in history. Largely told through dramatic reenactments that are comparable to a Hollywood spectacle, "The World Wars"  marks the 100th anniversary of World War I (which began on July 28, 1914).
