Buy This Item Battle 360 - Season 1 (History Channel) (Steelbook) by A&E Home Video (New REleaset)  Available from Amazon  $29.99  on 11-24-2008     For nearly a decade, the legendary World War II aircraft carrier USS Enterprise held a pivotal place on the turbulent seas of war, engaging in some of the fiercest multi-front battles ever witnessed in modern combat. The only carrier to be front and center in every major sea conflict in the Pacific, the Enterprise and her crew s battles were marked by intense firepower, instinct and a 360-coordination between the ship, the destroyers, the aircraft above and the submarines below. In each of ten episodes, and using incredible CGI visualizations, BATTLE 360 follows the Enterprise and its men through another conflict of WWII as they fight off the enemy from the air, the sea and underwater. DVD Features: Additional Footage BATTLE 360: THE COMPLETE SEASON ONE includes all 10 original episodes on 4 DVDs: Disc 1: Call to Duty / Vengeance at Midway / Jaws of the Enemy Disc 2: Bloody Santa Cruz / Enterprise vs. Japan / The Grey Ghost Disc 3: Hammer of Hell / D-Day in the Pacific Disc 4: Battle of Leyte Gulf / The Empire's Last Stand / bonus material Reader Reviews I am thrilled to have this released so quickly onto DVD. It just ended on the History Channel, and three months is a good turnaround time. I am a little biased in my anticipation, as my grandfather is one of the veteran "stars" of this series. (My last name is the same as his in case you are interested.) He appeared in seven of the ten episodes and, as one of the sailors who served on board Enterprise during the entire war, I couldn't be prouder of him! Anyway, my intent was not to just review my grandfather's role in the show, as this is really a terrific series. There is a good blend of veterans and current "field experts" to give a variety of angles. Some of the heroics outlined truly give you chills, and the story of this amazing ship is phenomenal. There is a ton of CGI, and this could perhaps be both the strength and weakness of the show. I know my grandfather grew weary of it and felt it was ridiculous, but at the same time it gave us re-enactments of some of the battles that would otherwise not be possible. Overall, the CGI gave a dimension to this series that really blows you out of the water (no pun intended.) If you are a history buff, Navy buff, or WW2 buff, you should watch this show. You'll get a fantastic snapshot of a fantastic ship whose story is unequaled by any other American ship during WW2.
