This unlikely Renaissance man not only chats with Roosevelt and negotiates with Churchill and Stalin, but shepherds destroyers across the Atlantic, inspects the Russian front just as the Germans march within sight of Moscow, and loses his battleship at Pearl Harbor. Through a series of confidential postings, Pug is pitched from one key moment of World War II to the next as the special envoy of President Roosevelt (Ralph Bellamy). Naval attaché, he and his family are dispatched to Berlin in 1939, preceding America’s forced entry into World War II in December 1941.
The Winds of War, newly released in a lavish, seven-disc set, with a running time of nearly 15 hours, follows the fortunes of Pug Henry (Robert Mitchum).
