As the most anticipated television event for this fall nears its premier, Legacy Records is releasing its official soundtrack in stores. “The War,” a 2007 World War II documentary produced by American filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, will start its seven-part airing on September 23rd and in conjunction to this, its soundtrack album will arrive in stores September 11th on Legacy Recordings.

“The War” tells the story of the Second World War through the personal accounts of a handful of men and women from four quintessentially American towns.  The series explores the most intimate human dimensions of the greatest cataclysm in history, and demonstrates that in extraordinary times, there are no ordinary lives.

“The War” soundtrack album and the three companion albums will be sold individually.  They will also be packaged together in a special commemorative box set featuring a 24-page booklet essay by Ken Burns interspersed with 17 rare and moving images from the period, and a PBS Series Viewers Guide.
