Ike: Countdown to D-Day 

Cathy Seipp's latest National Review column discusses the upcoming A&E docudrama Ike: Countdown to D-Day:

"Ike has none of Spielberg's cinematic brilliance, nor, since it ends just before the landings, even one depicted casualty. But I think it conveys more about the ultimate importance of this battle, and the heroism involved, than all of Saving Private Ryan's special effects with exploded brains and ripped-off limbs."
I had not heard of this project before, but I will make it a point to view the film, which premieres on A&E May 31. Read the whole column.
