Scholars contributing to this DVD include Pulitzer Prize winning author James M. McPherson

Inecom Entertainment Company announces today that its latest film "Lincoln and Lee at Antietam - The Cost of Freedom," part of the "MINUTES OF HISTORY®"series, will be distributed to public broadcasting stations nationwide by America Public Television (APT) in May 2006. Narrated by Ronald F. Maxwell, director of "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals," the feature documentary is presented by Penn State Public Broadcasting (PSPB). The special will air on stations beginning in May 2006, and will be broadcast in standard and high definition formats. (Check local listings for dates/times in your area).

Written, directed and produced by multiple-award winner Robert Child ("Gettysburg: Three Days of Destiny," "Gettysburg: The Boys in Blue and Gray"), "Lincoln and Lee at Antietam - The Cost of Freedom" vividly brings to life the story of America's fight for freedom in a battle that changes the course of the Civil War. It's September 17, 1862, and President Abraham Lincoln needs a victory in order to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. But General Robert E. Lee has other plans -- invade the North. When Lee's strategy, known as Special Order 191, falls into the hands of the Union Army, the result is the single bloodiest day in American history at the Battle of Antietam in Sharpsburg, Maryland.

Scholars contributing to this DVD include Pulitzer Prize winning author James M. McPherson ("Battle Cry of Freedom" and "Crossroads of Freedom: Antietam"); Allen C. Guelzo, a recent nominee by the President of the United States to the National Council on the Humanities and two-time Lincoln Prize recipient; and Stanley Wernz, featured in Time magazine (July 4, 2005) and current president of the Association of Lincoln Presenters.

Inecom's newest title will be on sale at video stores, Internet retailers, educational and institutional distributors and large retail chains like Borders stores on January 31, 2006. Many retailers are currently accepting pre-orders as well.
