Wonderful book. Probably my favorite from Catton

Narroration was excellent, bad Narroration can ruin an otherwise good book. The story is superb. And all together was very interesting

This makes history come to life

The narration is fabulous. The research that has gone into this book is impressive. It has left me with a profound respect for men who gave their all for the freedoms I enjoy.

super easy listen

Catton has a way of drawing you in to the story, and making you forget these things really happened!

Perfect

Truly a masterpiece. I have read or listened to a dozen civil war books and this may have been the best. It held my interest beyond my expectations.

So poetic

A magnificent of an incredible struggle. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
