The War: An Intimate History, 1941-1945 by Geoffrey C. Ward, Ken Burns

5.0

Wow - this is emotionally stirring, informative, and powerful. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in realizing how truly overwhelming this war felt to those on the ground as they were led by both good and failable leaders.

While we are currently engaged in war, I am reminded of a saying I hear often among Marines: "The Marines are at war, America is at the mall." We have nothing to compare to the WWII experience within our generation. I challenge you to read about the bleak emotional landscape this war produced and honestly evaluate what the people called to arms in this conflict have given us.

I can't wait to see the documentary.
