I ended up canceling Starz because I have Netflix. Most of the movies and all of the series seem to be available for streaming at the same time they're being shown on the network. I caught Spartacus and Pillars of the Earth the same weeks they aired on Starz.
Winston Chuchill was quoted as saying: before Alamein we never won a battle, after Alamein we never lost one.   Answer   The Battle was a turning point in the North African campaign. Just prior to this, the British changed their commanders.
Gettysburg was, by American Civil War standards, a massive battle. It's importance should not be downplayed. But it is also just a part of a larger mosaic of the war. There was great interest at the time in its outcome, but I doubt you'd find anyone in 1863 that would have called it a turning-point. I rather think Winston Churchill's quote regarding the Second Battle of El Alamein is an apt description of what was felt: Now this is not the end.
