Reseñas de la Crítica

"[The Civil War] is everything we have come to expect from the practiced hand of Bruce Catton: scholarly, judicious, clear, and unfailingly interesting. It would be difficult to find a better introduction to the Civil War than this book.

A Good Account of the War.

Enjoyed the clean accurate account of everything in the war. It has a clean story and the Narrative does it credit. All and All it was well done.

Informative

A well done short version of the civil war. Very informative. A great general introduction to the war.

Very clear outline of the Civil War

This is a very clear outline of the American Civil War, allowing the reader to have a general understanding of the war from which they can seek more detailed information from other sources. Very well written.

Loved the story but not the narration

I’ve always been intrigued with the Civil War. This book had much more information & detail than my prior knowledge of people & events during the war. I only wish I had actually read it, rather than listened to it on Audible. The narrator was quite monotone and I had to rewind several times because his performance just couldn’t capture me 100%. Other than that - if you are interested in the Civil War, definitely read it; you will learn more!

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

THE WAY THAT BRUCE CATTON SUMMARIZES HIS 3 VOLUME WORK IS MASTERFUL. HE BOILS IT DOWN TO THE ESSENTIALS A
