Professional Reviews
"Ken Burns's 14-hour epic on WW2 may be fall's top event." -Adam Buckman, THE NEW YORK POST
"...a brilliant piece of work from Burns.... 'The War' should be a hit." -Tim Goodman, THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
"When it is shown beginning September 23rd on PBS, many will call it a masterpiece." -Mike McDaniel, THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE
"An overwhelming portrait of ordinary humans being pushed to extremes. Even when the world descends into darkness -- which happens quickly at the movie's start -- the spark of humanity persists." - Peter Carlin, THE OREGONIAN
"A towering film. Ken Burns's finest work. America's best documentary filmmaker has vividly captured the very best generation of Americans. Just as the men and women of World War II answered the call and saved the world, Ken Burns has created a monument to their sacrifice and bravery." -Brian Williams, ANCHOR AND MANAGING EDITOR NBC NIGHTLY NEWS
"Ken Burns is one of the great cinematic artists of our time." -Rod Dreher, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"A new masterpiece....The War promises to be an unforgettable experience and could well rival Burns's breakthrough landmark The Civil War in its simple yet profound artistry and universal appeal." -TV GUIDE
"One reason we're excited about 'The War' is simply because of how good it is. In my opinion, it's not only the best thing Ken Burns has done since 'The Civil War,' it's the best thing he's done ever." - David Bianculli, NPR "Fresh Air" and the DAILY NEWS
"'The War' will be just about the best documentary...ever seen about the Second World War. - Adam Buckman, NEW YORK POST
"It's hard to believe 17 years have passed since the Civil War documentary came out, but 'The War' is sure to capture the nation's attention as much as that milestone project." - DENVER POST
"The film received a standing ovation from the World War II Conference crowd, which actually cheered the news that the documentary runs to 14 hours." - NEW ORLEANS TIMES-PICAYUNE
"There was barely a dry eye in the house when Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson played host to a special screening." - WASHINGTON TIMES
