I just finished a review of The Civil War, the documentary by Ken Burns and I urge you to watch it. The Civil War was a tragedy for this Nation and I do hope we will find better ways of solving difficult and emotional problems. The losses in The Civil War are grotesque; let us work to make men free without killing them.
The review is published on docspoc.com. Here is the link to my review.
Amazon invited this review and I was happy to oblige.
Some of the techniques used by Burns are discussed in this blog on Adventures in Software. I submitted a response to this article but for some unknown reason it did not post.
GM has dropped support for future Ken Burns documentaries. I hope that he is able to find alternate funding sources. I’m sorry to see the expiration of a 10 year contract be treated as a retreat by GM.
