Description:
The vivid voices that speak from these pages are not those of historians or scholars. They are the voices of ordinary men and women who experienced the most devastating war in history. Focusing on the citizens of four U.S. towns, The War follows more than forty people from 1941 to 1945. Woven largely from their memories, the compelling, unflinching narrative is enriched by maps and hundreds of photographs, including many never published before.

Professional Reviews

"A towering film. Ken Burns's finest work. America's best documentary filmmaker has vividly captured the very best generation of Americans. Just as the men and women of World War II answered the call and saved the world, Ken Burns has created a monument to their sacrifice and bravery." -Brian Williams, ANCHOR AND MANAGING EDITOR NBC NIGHTLY NEWS

"One reason we're excited about 'The War' is simply because of how good it is. In my opinion, it's not only the best thing Ken Burns has done since 'The Civil War,' it's the best thing he's done ever." - David Bianculli, NPR "Fresh Air" and the DAILY NEWS

"'The War' will be just about the best documentary...ever seen about the Second World War. - Adam Buckman, NEW YORK POST
