Great Commanders of the Civil War

Rating:
Summary: Nothing new here, this is only for beginners!
Review: I bought this documentary because it was bargain-priced & about Generals Lee, Jackson, & Chamberlain. The problem is that I learned nothing new & although the dvd cover says over 2 hrs, the segments on each commander are brief & amateurish. This is a cheap, low-budget attempt to cash in on the film Gods & Generals & Civil War buffs will be largely disappointed. The same reenactment footage is shown again & again & looks like it came from a home movie! For those who want a quality documentary about Gen. Jackson, I highly recommend the A & E biography "Stonewall Jackson". Also, there are excellent Civil War Journal documentaries about Jackson, Lee, & Chamberlain. Trust me, spend more on a high-quality documentary rather than this elementary-level production.
