HISTORY® presents a special collection of 3 DVDs commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Set contains:

Lee & Grant
A personal look at two iconic leaders of the Civil War. Surprising details reveal the bold choices and almost godlike power Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee summoned on decisive battlefields like Vicksburg and Gettysburg that turned the tide of the war. Produced with the cooperation of leading Civil War historian Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump, this special features a unique perspective, exploring how these men changed the course of American history

Gettysburg
Executive Producers Tony and Ridley Scott present a look at this battle from the perspective of the soldiers who fought there, in a confrontation that changed the fate of our nation. Raw, immersive and emotional, this groundbreaking event puts viewers inside the three-day battle where over 50,000 men paid the ultimate price. At its core, this is the story of the soldiers on the ground, not the generals who commanded from behind the frontlines. Compelling CGI and powerful action footage place viewers in the midst of the fighting, delivering both an emotional cinematic experience and an information packed look at the turning points, technology, and little known facts of perhaps America's greatest battle.

Aftershock: Beyond the Civil War
America is supposed to be reuniting in 1865, but what emerges is a picture of murder, terrorism and chaos as “free” black men and women remain enslaved by a South that does not completely surrender. All Americans feel the Civil War’s aftershocks for years, while some believe its tremors are felt even today.
