Gettysburg ----- DVD. An excellent, riveting production depicting the turning point in the US civil war. This was the pivotal point in the hostilities between the Union Armies of the North and the Southern Confederacies forces of the South. This was a battle that almost didn’t happen; forces from both sides stumbled across each other and then re-enforced each other until the stage was set for the largest battle ever in the western hemisphere. The re-created action; the smoke;, the dust; the troops on both sides shredded is overwhelming in its re-enactment. New weapons, put into use for the first time are depicted, their destructive power explained with detail. The carnage, the bloodletting, the dismembered bodies may be more than you wanted to see. An excellent video, explained by experts as the battle unfolds on the screen. This is the civil war in absolute detail.
