THE WINDS OF WAR SPECIAL COLLECTORS 6-DISC SET
Set against the momentous global developments that culminated at Pearl Harbor in 1941, The Winds of War features Robert Mitchum as Victor "Pug" Henry, a seasoned naval officer who, together with his family, learns to navigate the changing world of the late 1930s with courage and resolve.
As Germany expands its borders under Hitler, Italy seeks to extend its influence under Mussolini, and Japan prepares for a major confrontation with China, the Henry family becomes closely connected to these historic currents. Their journey explores romance, sacrifice, bravery, and the events that led to America's entry into World War II.
A captivating 1983 television miniseries adapted from Herman Wouk's bestselling historical novel, The Winds of War is a grand production that echoes the spirit of classic Hollywood epics. At the heart of this globe-spanning narrative is the Henry family and their clear-eyed, straightforward patriarch, United States Navy Commander Victor "Pug" Henry (Robert Mitchum), who is assigned as a naval attaché in Berlin in the spring of 1939. As an astute observer, Pug recognizes important strategic developments in Germany and becomes a valued source of insight for President Franklin D. Roosevelt (Ralph Bellamy), even while family matters present their own challenges.
Notable characters and arcs:
Rhoda Henry (Polly Bergen) finds companionship and support with Palmer Kirby (Peter Graves).
Madeline (Lisa Eilbacher), age 19, chooses to pursue a career opportunity at CBS radio in New York while continuing her personal growth.
Warren (Ben Murphy) seeks his father's recognition and follows a path as a Navy pilot, experiencing pivotal moments of the era.
Byron (Jan-Michael Vincent) works in Italy during Mussolini's rule as an assistant to an art historian (John Houseman) and develops a devoted relationship with Natalie (Ali MacGraw).
The relationship between Byron and Natalie provides an intimate, moving thread throughout the story as they travel through Europe during the turbulent opening months of the conflict. Natalie, who is Jewish, faces serious challenges while in Italy, and the characters encounter a wide range of people — from prominent leaders like Churchill and Mussolini to everyday citizens — finding themselves in unexpected places and experiences they could not have imagined.tside the pressures of war. The program's length and smart script allow for a lot of ideas and background detail that pull a viewer in--happily.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
