Customer Reviews

Comprehensive, interestingly presented and accurate. Well worth your time.

The Civil War by Ken Burns DVD set is the best 11 hours one can spend in front of a TV. I found the series to be accurate to the many scholarly books I have read on this war and many days spent on various battleground sites.
