That was my benchmark. I really enjoyed how they told the stories of the Civil War, interspersing personal letters from soldiers, brothers, generals, and leaders. It put me in the head space to understand it from a perspective I couldn't previously appreciate.
The Vietnam War doc is accomplishing the same thing, in a different way. It gives you that comprehensive understanding of the total environment from all sides. And like the Civil War doc it is incredibly in-depth.
Despite having an overwhelming advantage of visual resources like video, primary source interviews, and vivid pictures they still found a way to provide a rich, underlying story.
Soundtrack ain't so bad, too.
