The War will be a seven - episode series, produced by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, that will examine the myriad ways in which the Second World War touched the lives of every family on every street in every town in America. By telling the stories of ordinary people in four quintessentially American towns – Waterbury, Connecticut; Mobile, Alabama; Sacramento, California; and the tiny farming town of Luverne, Minnesota – the series will portray this enormous worldwide catastrophe on an intimate, human scale. The War will intertwine vivid eyewitness accounts of the harrowing realities of life on the front lines with reminiscences of Americans who never left their home towns, and who tried their best to carry on with the business of daily life while their fathers and brothers and sons were overseas. The film will honor and celebrate the bravery, endurance, and sacrifice, of the generation of Americans who lived through what will always be known simply as The War.

Summary: WWWII DVD/The War`
Comment: This item was purchased for my husband for Christmas 2008 who loves WWWII video and reading. He had seen it advertised in a magazine and had torn out the sheet and I'm sure knowing I would follow through. It was advertised new for $70 +. I went to Amazon.com and found it new for about half the price. He tends to love WWWII Japanese. I am assuming since he was interested it will have plenty on that subject for WWWII. I would not have a preview on this as far as content until after Christmas and his viewing.

Summary: "The War," by Ken Burns
Comment: "The War" is a brilliant, moving, and informative documentary on America's participation in the second world war which should be seen by EVERY American. It will teach all those too young to remember the magnitude of the sacrifice made by many millions of Americans to preserve our freedom. And it will also illuminate the nature of war, disabusing viewers of the illusion that with sound leadership wars can be fought without strategic, tactical, and logistical errors that cost thousands of American lives, and without "atrocities" (e.g. the execution of prisoners) far worse than Abu Ghraib. Above all, it will remind us of how millions of ordinary, peace-loving Americans have proved capable of rising to extraordinary levels of heroism, determination, and endurance when their country's survival, and that of its principles, required.
