The War

The War is a seven-part American television documentary miniseries about World War II from the perspective of the United States. The program was directed by American filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, written by Geoffrey Ward, and narrated primarily by Keith David. The series focuses on World War II in a “bottom up” fashion through the lenses of four “quintessentially American towns”: Mobile, Alabama, Luverne, Minnesota, Sacramento, California and Waterbury, Connecticut. The series recounts the experiences of a number of individuals from these communities as they move through the war in the Pacific, African and European theaters, and focuses on the effect of the war on them, their families and their communities.

Coyote Waits

Its title comes from a Navajo proverb, and Coyote Waits carries all the supernatural suspense for which Tony Hillerman’s novels are famous. Officer Jim Chee is convinced that a drunken Navajo shaman, Ashie Pinto, killed a fellow officer. Pinto won’t deny it, but a kinswoman believes he is innocent, and her persistence drives Chee and Lieutenant Leaphorn deeper into puzzling mystery, with each new death.
