 | | On the other hand, Path to War does fully capture the richness (and also the absurdity) of the technological and scientific hubris of the late '50s and early '60s, in which any situation, however complex could be reduced to, and solved by, a mathematical equation. |
 | | Path to War resembles other (relatively) recent filmed histories: HBO's own exploration of Churchill's wilderness years during the 1930s, The Gathering Storm, for example, or Oliver Stone's Nixon. |
 | | Throughout this second hour, the script is so sympathetic to Johnson that the writers appear to portray him as a thoughtful man, driven to anguish by the dubious necessity of a colonial war that perverted him, his domestic policies and the Presidential image he had hoped to hone for history. |
