Ken Burns on The War
For more than thirty years Ken Burns has directed and produced some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made, including Baseball, The Civil War, and JAZZ. His latest documentary, The War, tells the story of the Second World War through the personal accounts of a handful of men and women from four quintessentially American towns. An accompanying book, The War: An Intimate History, 1941-1945, by Geoffrey C. Ward, includes a forward written by Burns.
Burns will be speaking at the Book and Author Breakfast on Saturday, June 2.
