DVD Reviews of Barbarians (History Channel)

DVD Review: educational standpoint
Summary: 5 Stars

As a high-school teacher for history and English foundations, I must utilize movies as a visual aide supplement to help them connect with the characters, setting, dialogue... I strongly recommend using this dvd to support your curriculum to teach on all levels of student learning (auditory, kinesthetic, visual).

DVD Review: birth of western european countries
Summary: 4 Stars

Understand the barbarians invasion is to understand the rooth of the european medieval time and the fall of Roman Empiror

DVD Review: From a lover of history.
Summary: 5 Stars

After viewing the PBS series on barbarians I purchased this and other DVDs and VHS tapes regarding this interesting part of human history. It is an education to learn the part played by so many barbaric, warring peoples, helping to put historic sequences in place. In fact, there were some barbaric peoples I had not heard of; others I could not place geographically. This is an important addition to my historic video collection. I recommend it highly to those interested history in general and barbarian peoples in particular.

DVD Review: History come to life
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this series. It combines reenactments with expert historians' interviews, pulling the viewer into the past and making it seem like the present. It's pop history. What of it? It gets you interested and encourages you to explore issues that interest you. What struck me the most is these barbarians were brutalized by their neighboring empires, and had to develop guerrilla tactics to compete successfully. Rome, for instance, wanted everyone and everything to bow down to it. Why was its culture more important than the other ones? Eventually, the conquering hordes made peace with their enemies and accepted their gods in order to get along and assimilate. Perhaps there's a little barbarian in all of us.

DVD Review: Liquid History.
Summary: 5 Stars

Well, I've always liked the History Channel's documentaries over the years and this is one of my favorite productions. The only thing I'll say about buying it is that the episodes are too short with commercial lapses built into their structure--by this I mean they'll fade out of a scene and then fade back via the repetition of a small segment of tape. This can get a little annoying if you're watching them all in a row. The fact is though, I don't have time to read separate books on the Vikings, the Huns, and the Visigoths so I appreciate the insight that this collection provides. They're well done and very educational. I'm not sure why some people reviewed them so poorly here.
