A film buff's film, a grand creation of American mythology and a slick, entertaining, informative work.

It's not merely about World War II; it's also about service, racism, stereotyping, war reporting, and truth. And ultimately, it's about the power of popular art to take a nation's temperature - and perhaps to shift it a few degrees.

... the miniseries excels at demonstrating how the war altered its subjects, and how their work overseas continued to change the world for decades after the fighting had ceased.
