Jefferson Davis: An American President

For the first time on film, this revealing DVD presents the complete story of Jefferson Davis in three informative and entertaining full-length episodes. Jefferson Davis was the Confederate States of America's first and only president. But what few people realize is that he had already spent many years before the Civil War began in patriotic service to the United States of America. As an Army officer, congressman, Secretary of War and two-term Mississippi senator, Davis was instrumental in founding the Smithsonian Institution, and was largely responsible for the design of the United States Capitol. This unprecedented documentary includes many rare photographs, unparalleled interviews with top Davis scholars and never-before-seen footage from the Confederate White House and many private homes.

The Korean War: Fire and Ice

This is the definitive story of the Korean War, revealing the pain, glory and pathos of an often forgotten conflict fought at the mid-point of the 20th Century. It was the first conflict to fall under the newly-formed United Nations' watch; the first war where jet fighters became a common sight in the skies above the battlefield; the first major flashpoint of the Cold War and the nuclear age. As Eastern and Western powers circled each other like wary prize fighters, the Korean conflict soon became a proxy war as an intervention force led by the United States and its allies quickly found themselves pitted against a North Korean military assisted by the resources of newly-formed Communist China and the Soviet Union. The war raged for three years at a cost of over two millions lives before an armistice delivered an uneasy peace in 1953; a legacy that still hangs in balance to this day across a divided Korean nation.
