In a return to our "coolest" people segment, we have a gentleman who has given us entertainment and history in equal doses, and we didn't even know we were learning something. If you are like me you not only watched his series on the Civil War, you probably own it as well, so you can keep watching your favorite parts.
He is Ken Burns and this is his project beginning this evening.
The War," the latest epic documentary from Ken Burns and company, takes some 15 hours to tell the story of WWII - and it's well worth the time. Like his "The Civil War," which PBS presented 17 years ago to the minute, "The War" has the potential to be a national TV event, focusing our attention on a topic that others have mined before, but never in quite the same way.
I look forward to the next 15 hours of entertainment and learning and know that it will amuse, teach, tear at our hearts, and leave us wanting to know more and to go out and thank the first veteran that we see!!
See you on the other side of this series and please let me know what you think about it!! Thanks!
