World War II with Tom Hanks is a landmark documentary event that reexamines the war through the lens of a new century.

Each episode uncovers new dimensions of the conflict: the decisions that shaped the battlefield, the unseen networks that sustained the war effort, and the aftershocks that still shape our world today.
