Although the small print on the video box promises a bonus program (Iron Jaws: The Killing Power of Civil War Artillery), the "bonus" actually comprises most of the video. Presented by The Civil War Trust, The American Civil War is a 13-minute super-compressed history of America's most complex war, which has the feel of an abridged Cliff's Notes. Given the richness of the subject matter, and the widespread availability of classics such as Ken Burns' The Civil War, this is not a necessary purchase. Aud: J, H, P. (R. Pitman)
