This is without a doubt a great work of art and a historically relevant piece of work. It does tell, most likely, the most complete history of the civil war, i doubt that was the prupose, but it does honor to those who fought in it. It gives us a glimpse into the humanity and cruelty of war. After all these years I still have to stop what I am doing when this show is on. The music and narration are superb, at least in this man's opinion.
