Speaking from four quintessentially American towns: Mobile, Alabama, Sacramento, California, Luverne, Minnesota and Waterbury, Connecticut, Ken Burns’ The War brings to life a time when the impact of World War II was felt in every American neighborhood and across the ocean divide to the battlefields of Europe and Asia.
