Title: "AMERICAN RACISM DURING THE WAR"
Review: By changing the proportions of actual events, Burns rewrites history. Now, if he'd called his film "American Racism During the War" instead of "The War", he would at least be honest, and the film would be more credible as a history.The definitive documentary on World War II isThe World at War (30th Anniversary Edition)by Jeremy Isaacs. Being admittedly slightly Anglo-centric, the series is believable as a history.Just remember proportion. The War (not The American Racist War) was overwhelmingly centered around Germany's desire to conquer the Russians - 20 MILLIONS of whom were annihilated, not about a handful of mistreated American Negros.
