About the Series:
This six-part, 12-hour epic—eight years in the making—captures the full scope of a conflict that was simultaneously a war for independence, a civil war, and a global struggle that turned the world upside down. Burns weaves together accounts of political leaders with the perspectives of ordinary people who waged and witnessed war, from Vermont's Green Mountains to South Carolina's swamps, presenting an expansive look at the virtues and contradictions of America's founding struggle. Don't miss this rare opportunity to preview Burns' most ambitious Revolutionary War project before its November PBS debut and engage with the experts who brought this remarkable story to life.
