Anybody else watch "The War" on PBS?
#4
I am watching it and think it is terrific. I particularly like the way it is told from the perspective of the privates and I suspect we will hear very little from the generals. I am pleased Burns was able to find articulate people who were able to remember and relate their experiences. Unlike the Civil War, American soldiers were not permitted to keep journals or diaries so all we have are their recollections.
