Just read a review of this and it looks really interesting. Hadn't heard of it before and Im going to try to watch it.

The Civil War by Ken Burns. A rather lengthy documentary on the US Civil War. Not everyone's cup of tea as it is something like 10 hours long and goes into some serious detail, but the interviews (especially with Shelby Foote) are excellent. Soundtrack is pretty damn good as well.

From a military stand point is just shocking the blending of out of date tactics with modern weaponry and the carnage it produced. Every facet of the war from political to International relations is touched. If you have the interest and the time watch it.
