The year is 2024 the 159 anniversary of this amazing week in our nation’s history. It’s a powerful document. Rest in peace Doc. Enjoyed your books and wisdom in a troubling time in our history.

I like the style of this presentation. Even today, over 150yrs after these tumultuous events there's still controversy. Many try to erase the memories of this war and it's utterly wrong!<br><br>Like ALL history, it is vital that what happened and why is known and understood. Both viewpoints need to be remembered because otherwise, they can raise their ugly heads and history WILL repeat itself. <br><br>This programme is an excellent example of how that can be done. Simple storytelling, without bias, politically or otherwise. War, is a breakdown of communication. When one side stops listening, it is inevitable and that has scary parallels with today, 2024. America is rapidly becoming more and more polarised. Unless some drastic reconciliation happens, I fear major internal conflict.
