5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Series, November 12, 2006

By	Shannon Burwell "book diva" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love these documentaries. I don't quite understand the viewpoint of the other review. I work in the film industry and these docs are extremely well made by the best directors in documentary filmmaking.

They picked days in history that lead up to great events - turning points. They highlighted parts of our history that we rarely hear about in school or otherwise and I found them fascinating. My husband and I watched them together and would have wonderful discussions afterward. The subject matter was thought provoking and I felt showed how events from our past affect the future.

Each one was done in a different style with a different director. It seemed to me that content dictated the each style - very well executed. I highly recommend these films. Bravo!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great teacher resource, February 17, 2008

By	Oseph S. Vetrano, Jr. (Wall, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I teach US History I & II and this 3-disc DVD set is a great supplement for my curriculum. The episodes are 30-40 minutes, which are a perfect lengths for my classes. The segments are age-appropriate and not too boring for high school students. This is a must-have whether you teach US I or II.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great supplement to the classroom, June 5, 2009

By	L. Feldmeth "teacher US history" (Syracuse NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is very well done. I was able to show my classes the McKinley Assassination after catching this epeisode on TV. The students found it interesting and it definitly kept their attention. The portrayal of the famous people are genuine and helps you understand the importance of the event. Recommended addition for the US History classroom.
