| This series has great content covering a wide range of different subjects, battles and individuals not always included in CW documentaries. I recommend it for the video library of all Civil War buffs. Even though I have watched all the shows I pull these off the shelf and watch them when I can't find anything else on TV. At 45 minutes or so each show, you get a very detailed exploration into the episode's subject matter instead of the general overview you might find in other documentaries. My only gripe and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the quality of the tapes. I can't understand why a set costing what this one does would be taped at (EP) mode. What a disappointment, content this good deserved better, and so do we when paying this much for a set like this. Despite the quality issue, it is worth having because of the great narration, stories, photos, re-enacments etc. Enjoy. |
