"Taken together, the five documentary programs in this set provide a multifaceted overview of several aspects of the U.S. Civil War (1861-65). The collection features: April 1865: The Month that Saved America, adapted from Jay Winik's bestseller of the same title, about the many pivotal events that fell in-between Richmond and Appomattox; Civil War Combat: The Tragedy at Cold Harbor about the titular battle, long regarded as one of the most brutal in the conflict, and the definitive turning point; and three individual biographical documentaries from The Biography Channel on pivotal Civil War figures: Abraham Lincoln, Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee."
