    Good visual documentary

    This docu. uses reenactment societies to show the dress and organisational styles of the day, which is interesting. Also uses fairly broad historical source material to explain the events. Not the most gripping, but certainly some effort has gone into it production and the history is therefore well explained and understandable.
