The Civil War - A Film by Ken Burns Review

Anyone interested in learning more about the Civil War than what we're taught in school couldn't do better than watching this film.
All the Ken Burns films I've seen are beautifully done, and as entertaining as they are informative. This is no exception.
I saw this originaly on the History Channel, bought the set on vhs, and now have this wonderful dvd set. Each time I watch it I find it as fascinating as I did the first time.
It's done with knowledgable historians like Shelby Foote whose warmth, humor & effusiveness make it a story not just a lesson, and with actors giving voices to those who were there at this terrible time in our history.
We're offered the chance to learn not only about the military & human aspects, but artfully giving us a chance to understand & feel for and with these people. A "You Are There" experience.
Very highest recommendation!
