Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A six disc set which picks certain specific topics from the American Civil War. A few battles analyzed, one episode on undercover raids, one on development of ordnance and a history of Sherman's March. This set is not a history of the Civil War,as such and not recommended for someone expecting a start-to-finish overview history. Interesting, well presented topics for "buffs" and thus well worth purchasing.

Format:DVD
This is a very well put together documentary and will appeal to historians and military buffs as it informs of the technology advances and industrialisation of war. i.e. American Civil War is the first Industrial War.
Dealing with forensic evidence that changes the view of certain myths and battles of the civil war such as the Hornets Nest.
Enthralling for those interested in strategy and tactics rather than just the overall narrative and 'a must' for weaponary information. The dramatisation is well done though concerned with details of battles and the characters involved in particular events, such as the generals and the forensic view of the locations, rather than the emphasis being on the historical and political overview alone.
Very concise and 'a must' for those interested in the people 'on the ground' and effects and process of technology used to destroy people in wars.

A series of interesting programs that supplement your knowledge of the subject. If, for example, you know nothing about Antietam - the program won't help at all and if you know a lot, then the program won't help much either! There's a lot of recapping after what would be the advertisement breaks which is a bit tedious - very tedious but apart from that I thought they were a good effort and worth the price - which is not a lot!
