Six years in the making, Ken Burns and Lynn Novick's The War is a magnificent documentary of World War II, and its affects on the Americans who served in the military, and those who lived through it at home. Focusing primarily on about a score of families from 4 smaller cities of the United States, and including many hours of actual combat footage, this is an amazingly comprehensive view of the War. The coverage of the social environment just before and during and after the War is elegant. Very highly recommended.
