[Publib] The War (was Programming for Boomers)

[Andrew.Jelen at wfpl.net]

It is my understanding the Burns' The War covers the experiences of people 
from four (4) municipalities in the United States.  This would be a tiny 
if not negligible portion of Americans who served during World War II, let 
alone from the rest of the world.  Besides Latinos among American 
servicemen, a treatment covering just four (4) "quintessentially American 
towns" would miss the Battle for Britain, the French resistance, the 
puppet state in Manchuria, and many other topics.  Obviously The War isn't 
meant to be comprehensive.
