Customer Rating:
Summary: Ken Burns really pulled one off with this series
Comment: The first episode talks about the cause of the war and how the the conflict became inevitable. The Sullivan Ballou letter the ends the episode is very moving and you may want to have some kleenex handy. Throughout the series, the musical score really draws you into the period and to the drama of this terrible conflict. This series is reminiscent of old-time radio shows and how they used sound effects. The narration and the voices representing different key players in the war is flawless. Very professionally done by Burns and crew to tell a powerful story using a full arsenal of facts and effects.

Summary: Captivating, a revealing look at the people of the Civil War
Comment: I was first introduced to this documentary in a US History class. All too often history is portrayed in such a way as to be completely alien or so far out of touch with "today" that a search for relevancy proves futile. Not so with this documentary! The combination of David McCullough's voice, the background music native to the time, hundreds and hundreds of actual pictures taken on scene, and compelling stories that ranged from the strategic "macro" level of the war to the level of the individual soldier and their family absolutely captivated me! A MUST HAVE for all interested in the history of the Civil War.
