- Great Video
I knew so little of the War of 1812 before watching this video.It was very important in our nations history, re-affirming our independence.

If you do not, like most people, know anything about the War of 1812-the so-called- `forgotten war'- or even if you are familiar with its details then this History Channel presentation will give you more than you will ever want to know about that event.

- somewhat disappointing
I was somewhat disappointed by this 2 disk set. It ended up being a 2 hr. program on the war of 1812 with some similarly themed history channel programs. While the main program was informative, the additional programs repeated alot of info. 1 program, 'The Ironclads', had nothing to do with the war of 1812.
