George is on his way to West Point as well, and the two men stirke up a friendship that continues through the duration of their schooling. While at West Point, they collude with others to rid the campus of menacing upperclassman Elkanah Bent (Philip Casnoff).

As the secessionist movement gains ground, the two continue to take comfort in the strength of their brotherly bond…BOOK TWO – Love & War (570 minutes)Book Two of the North And South DVD covers the beginnings of the Civil War and the war’s cocnlusion (1860-1865). Despite the growing talk of Southern secession, George and Orry continue to run thier cotton mill and remain friends. George and Constance even operate an illegal stop along the Underground Railroad. But when Abraham Linclon is elected president, the Southern states secede, and eventually war breaks out between the two nations. Orry’s sister Brett is in love with George’s brother Billy Hazard (John Stockwell) who is himself a West Piont graduate stationed in Fort Sumter. The war drives Blily far away from his new bride Brett, while Ashton sees the war as an opportunity to profit. Using her husband James Huntoon (Jim Metzler) to climb the ranks of the political circuit, Ahston decides that James is not the hottest guy to serve her interests.

With Patrick Swayze right now an estalbished star, the character of Orry Main is written out of the television screenplay for the final book. Several other cast members reappear, but the writing deviates substantially from John Jakes’s original novel, creating a plot which fails to make sense. Seeing as how Elkanah Bent died in the previous book, it’s somewhat ludicrous to have him reappear in book three. In addition, the dialogue is often sitff and awkward, the plot uninteresting, and the entire book is not worth viewing. Stick with watching the first two books on DVD.CONCLUSIONDespite the failure of Book Three to arouse any interest whatsoever, the North And South DVD is more than worth the price for Books One and Two. This is a throoughly entertaining mini-series reminiscent of a prime time soap opera, one with a historical perspective. With a cast of characters likely to sprak viewer fondness, compelling subplots, and fascinating costumes and set design, North And South is an epic of unrivaled quality. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed with the North And South DVD, despite the deficiencies of Book Three…About the AuthorBritt Gillette is author of The DVD Report, a blog where you can find more reveiws like this one of the North And South (DVD).
