I bought this DVD set because I had read that it contained a review of the reasons for the Civil War. I was not disappointed. This set contains three DVDs. Particuarly the first of those has a good analysis of the reasons for the Civil War, but the others also have a good input. The set contains an analysis of each battle of the Civil War, and although I have many DVDs accounting for the many battles, none have it wrapped up totally the way this set does. I would recommend this DVD set to anyone interested in the reasons behind the Civil War and an analysis of every battle that took place.
