2.0 out of 5 stars Repackaging of previous sets, December 4, 2009

Buyer beware-- a remix and match of History documentaries available in other collections. You need to research this one on the net if you have previous civil war sets. These offerings are previous releases offered up yet again. Same goes for the other recent history releases, Secrets of the Civil War, and other 2009 releases on the subject. On the other hand, if you have no other History Civil War documentaries, all are included here.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent 14 DVD value set, January 19, 2011

By

This review is from: The American Civil War (DVD)

14 DVD set - 28 hours and 17 min done in Documentary style (approx. 2 hours per DVD). This set is a compliation of several different smaller sets. Generally keeps a good balance between Northern and Southern perspectives. There is a difference in writing quality or emphasis among the titles included with most having good historical foundation and a few being speculative. Titles include:

The most daring mission of the Civil War
April 1865
Battlefield Detectives-Antietam
Battlefield Detectives-Gettysburg
Battlefield Detectives-Shiloh
Secret Missions of the Civil War
The Lost Battle of the Civil War
Guns of the Civil War
Eighty Acres of Hell
Lincoln
Lincoln-Man or Myth
Lincoln and the Flying, Spying machine
Lincoln Assassination
High Tech Lincoln
Sherman's March
The Hunt for John Wilkes Booth
The Hornets' Nest at Shiloh
The Bloody Lane at Antietam
The Wheatfield at Gettysburg
The Tragedy at Cold Harbor
John Brown's War
Destiny at Fort Sumter
The Battle at 1st Bull Run
The 54st Massachusets
West Point Classmates-Civil War Enemies
Robert E. Lee
Stonewall Jackson
Sherman and the March to the Sea
Bonus-Sherman's Total War Tactics

This set appears to be an excellent value.

3.0 out of 5 stars Same old same old, September 26, 2010

Agree with the previous reviewer. There are some great documentaries in this set, but if you have any other history channel documentaries...you probably already have these ones.
