Customer Reviews

Not very good at all
These DVDs contain mostly personal stories and less historical accuracy of how each war broke out and why. It did not even go into why the American revolution started.

The video quality is awful.

The first three DVDs were pretty good, but the rest were lacking badly.

The invasion of Panama is gone from this set, although that was a major victory for the USA.

Great set - awful price
This set is great if you like the topic, but the same set is at Best Buy for $79 - $100 less than here.

Lots of info
I got this dvd set for my husband, the history geek. He loves it. And I love that Amazon has it at such a great price.
