The Winds of War (1983) is an epic miniseries for ABC presenting the run-up to World War II from the view of an American family and the German high command based on the novel of the same name by Herman Wouk. I don’t associate this phenomenon with quality. I tend to associate American miniseries with event programing, like Roots (1977) (which I’ve not seen) or the series finale of long-running programs. Americans, however, like to make their miniseries out of historical things or popular (read: pulp) fiction of the time. Often, it’s adaptations of literature or else original stories. ![]() We all know, or else I do know and you should know, that the British are very good at putting out miniseries about all sorts of things. ![]()
