I know most people avoid PBS like the plague, but when this airs, I *highly* recommend you make an exception. If it's one tenth as good as his Civil War series, then it's not to be missed. It's not action oriented, but Burns is usually pretty good at getting to the underlying causes and effects of an event, and he really excels at showing you the human toll through personal photos and letters home.
BTW, check out the '1000 yard stare' of the poor GI on PBS's webpage for 'The War'. Amazing pic.
