Ken Burns' seven-part documentary on World War II that begins Sept. 23 on PBS is said by the producer to explore "the greatest cataclysm in history--a worldwide catastrophe that touched the lives of every family on every street in every town in America."

Included were scenes of New York City, combat in Europe and the Pacific, the manufacture of dolls for little girls, and presidential reports to the nation, among other images.
