The narrator of the Great Wars is George C. Scott. One of the most respected actors in American film and theaters. A student of history, he masterfully conveys the story of America's great conflicts.

Not simply a presentation of military history, these cassettes are an overview of the political, economic, and social forces that erupted in military conflict. They describe the historical context for each of the major U.S. wars, and how a military conflict resolved (or failed to resolve) the forces that caused a war. Although the series concentrates on America, its scope is much broader. Foreign affairs and European history is included to provide necessary perspective. Nine major wars are presented.
