Book Review: The War: An Intimate History 1941-1945
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book captivating in every respect. Written from close personal accounts from several different towns in the US, the reader gets a perspective like nothing I've read before. Not knowing very much about the War in the South Pacific, or the intimate details of the imprisoned in Manila, I found the accounts poignant, heartbreaking, and gratifying.Book Review: Best History Lesson Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
WWII was an occassional topic at the dinner table at my Grandparents house so I've always wanted to learn more about it. The view from the various Hometown, USA was terrific. A perfect way to go about telling the story of the War. This book is filled with photos and text that will take you there. It should be on every American's bookshelf.Book Review: Excellent companion to the video
Summary: 5 Stars
I find this book to be an excellent companion the video series, 'The War.' Much of the information in the series is reinforced in the book and the book also presents enough sidelights to make the reading enjoyable. There are many photographs which are almost as interesting as the reading. I would say this is a must for any WW II buff.Book Review: Life Changing History Lesson
Summary: 5 Stars
This Documentary is the most detailed and rich historical project I have ever seen. The interviews, imagery, film, and music are all excellent. This project of Ken Burn's was intended to educate Americans about World War II and it does that and more. This film truly makes impression on the viewer that will not be forgotten.Book Review: Great pictorial review.
Summary: 5 Stars
We watched every minute of the TV Production. This book is a great followup to the series. We are glad we have it. Having grown up during World War II it brought back many memories to share with others. Ken Burns is to be congratulated for his efforts in preserving memories for all those who lived through that period.
