Title: WW II Through the Eye of Ken Burns
Review: Too young to fight, but old enough to join the legions of kids who planted Victory Gardens, bought saving stamps and war bonds, and became "Jr. Commandoes" collecting scrap metal for the war effort, this film history certainly resonated with me. Burns has mastered the art of drawing together the thoughts and impressions of those who fought and their families waiting anxiously back home for them. By focusing on four typical American towns, and threading throughout his masterpiece the vivid recollections of those who actually experienced the horrors of war, whether it be in prison camps or on the bloody beach heads, Burns has truly recorded a living history that should be required viewing for any American who aspires to become our Commander-In-Chief. It should give them pause before deciding that they should launch this nation into such bloody and costly conflict.
