War of the Worlds 2 CD Set

On the evening of October 30, 1938, America went to war with Mars! Now you can listen to the original, uncut radio broadcast of Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater on the Air’s original dramatization of H. G. Wells’ “The War of the Worlds.” Hear the Program which terrified a nation and forced thousands to flee their homes in panic.

In 1955, 17 years after the first “War” CBS declared “War” once again. This time starring Staring Dana Andrews, Pat Crowley and William Conrad. Originally heard on CBS radio February, 1955, rebroadcast on AFRTS.

It makes an interesting comparison to listen to both the 1955 “War of the Worlds” and the 1938 “War”.
