THE HISTORY CHANNEL Presents: The Civil War Directed by David de Vries & Donna E. Lusitana & Jim Lindsay, 2007

THE HISTORY CHANNEL PRESENTS: THE CIVIL WAR is the definitive collection of programming on the War Between the States. Utilizing rare diary entries, photographs, and modern-day reenactments, THE HISTORY CHANNEL explores every aspect of this great conflict.

From Harper’s Ferry, Fort Sumter, and First Bull Run to Shiloh, Antietam, and Gettysburg, THE HISTORY CHANNEL PRESENTS: THE CIVIL WAR captures the most legendary Civil War battles in brilliant detail. A sweeping selection of the soldiers and legendary leaders who fought these battles, including Sherman, McClellan, Grant, Beauregard, Lee, Davis, and Jackson, are also brought back to life in richly detailed profiles. Through interviews with scholars and historians, reenactments, and their own written words, the full military and political contexts of these men, their armies, and the clashes between them are thoroughly explored.

Nearly a century and a half has passed since Lee surrendered at Appomattox — but the words and images contained in this collection continue to bring home the impact of the bloodiest conflict seen on American shores.
