Ken Burn's "The War" on PBS
 

Has anyone else been watching it?

It shows quite a bit of footage I haven't seen before. It's excellently put together and shows a non-biased presentation of life in the U.S. during the war. It has some real thought provoking segments....

It should be a MIUST-see.

Im planning on getting the DVDs but I havent been able to catch it on the tube.

During its initial run beginning in late September, I entered into a discussion about it at GS. You might find that discussion to be of interest. It starts here:

I too thought it was below Burns usual mark. He should of done two docs, one on the home front, and one on the war itself. I had a few other issues as well with it as well, but ill leave those dogs lie as i dont want to be at the center of another KG controversy, lol.

The Civil War series was by far his best work IMHO.
