Wondering about “The War”? PBS has produced a half-hour preview of Ken Burns’ upcoming 15-hour World War II documentary, and it’s not only running on-air tonight and other times (Thursday at 10:30 p.m., Sunday at 1 p.m. on WNET/13) but also streaming online.
“The War” premieres on PBS stations Sept. 23, in seven installments running through Oct. 2. It’s preceded by the companion $50 coffee-table book by Burns and Geoffrey C. Ward (“The Civil War”), out Tuesday, Sept. 11.
