Editorial Reviews

Product Description

It was the most tragic episode in American history. During four bitter and bloody years, more than 600,000 Union and Confederate troops lost their lives. The gory events at places such as Antietam, Gettysburg, Shiloh, Cold Harbor, Vicksburg, and Fredericksburg are still burned deep into the American psyche, never to be forgotten.

This DVD tells the dramatic story of the conflict, from the first shots at Fort Sumter to the emotional Confederate surrender at Appomattox Courthouse. It features superb battle reconstructions and depictions of Army life, dramatized "eyewitness" accounts, period photographs and images, plus expert comment and analysis. Narrated by Robert Powell.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Money, July 29, 2009
Cheesy production, erroneous information, dated material. Very disappointing.

(Amazon's On-line review wouldn't allow to "Submit" without checking a star, but this is a Zero!)
