His Civil War Documentary was perhaps his best by a long shot. It was great because it was primarily just storytelling.
Yes, the Civil War documentary was great. It was marred by giving too much attention to the one Black Studies (or whatever) lady who ranted and raved, and added little about actual history. However she was a small enough part that you could enjoy the scope of the rest of it, and the rest was very good.
I also watched his WW II one, and it was spotty at best. It wasn’t really about the war. It was, surprise, about race relations during the war, with that minor war thing as a backdrop. I watched the whole thing, but honestly, World at War is infinitely better .
