Looks good. Hopefully they also do one with his JFK book.

I will probably watch but a word of caution: the book is not good scholarship and although Ridley Scott has a good name, I believe he did Gettysburg a couple of years ago and it wasn't very good.

I thought his was a fairly decent show. A bit different with Tom Hanks narrating, but it seemed to work. By coincidence I was walking by Ford's Theatre today and there was a big line to get in.

I was a little surprized that Lincoln didn't know what Lee even looked liked until his son came home with his picture.
