Ken Burns never disappoints

The 1st Burns book I read was his "The War" about WW2. I got this because I was so impressed by Burns writing and his inclusion of photos that convey powerful messages. If you've read a Ken Burns book, you know what I'm talking about. If your a history or military buff, get this!
