Lorne Greene narrates this often stirring, poetry-tinged documentary about the plight facing Great Britain, on land and sea and in the air, and throws defiance back from the beleaguered island.
To people my age, Lorne Greene was Ben Cartwright, the master of the Ponderosa and the father of three very different sons on the long-running TV western, BONANZA. During the Second World War, however, his was the voice of the Canadian war documentary, laying out the truth, telling of the peril, and loudly proclaiming the inevitability of victory in his deep, thundering voice. There were eighteen or nineteen of them. This is pretty early in the series.
