The Civil War
Ken Burns, 1990, tv, 12 hrs (9*)
Ken Burns set a new style and standard for tv documentaries with this multi-part documentary based largely on still photographs, maps, and interviews with historians, authors, other experts. The series immediately becomes addictive for all history buffs, whether interested in the Civil War or not. Burns establishes a style he later used on a history of jazz music, another on baseball, finally one on World War II. Terrific stuff, not to be missed.
