History's Turning Points (1995)

History's Turning Points(1995) Superb 6-video historical vignettes ranging from Salamis (480 BCE), The Black Death (1347), Siege of Constantinople (1453), Zulu War (1879), Japanese defeat of Russia (1905), and the Russian Revolution (1917). One personal quibble: on the atomic bomb (1945), highlighting the "dissenting" views of Eisenhower and Admiral Leahy seems to be suspect history, since reputable sources provide convincing evidence that these views were not voiced before Hiroshima.
