He/she...sorry, didn't catch the gender... is right on the money, in my opinion. I'm sure this will be a brilliant series, certainly a jewel in the crown of Ken Burns' other works. But to call it "The War", when such key elements as the French resistance, the battle of Stalingrad, etc, were much more important than a lot of aspects of the American involvement. I say this not downplaying our contribution, but simply to "play up" what other countries did in this WORLD WAR, simply put. Quite honestly, I can't think of a catchy title...maybe that's the tragedy of it....that we have to think about ratings and such in naming this work of art... "World War II, American Style" doesn't cut it, and certainly is ridiculously irreverent. I don't have a solution....but I know wrong when I see it.
