The Civil War: 1860 -1865

The Drama of American History

By: Christopher Collier, James Lincoln Collier

Narrated by: Jim Manchester

The Civil War: 1860 - 1865 examines the people and events involved in the bloody war that pitted the Northern states against those that seceded to form the Confederacy.

History is dramatic - and the renowned, award-winning authors Christopher Collier and James Lincoln Collier demonstrate this in a compelling series aimed at young listeners. Covering American history from the founding of Jamestown through present day, these volumes explore far beyond the dates and events of a historical chronicle to present a moving illumination of the ideas, opinions, attitudes and tribulations that led to the birth of this great nation.

The Civil war

Very informative I would recommend it added to your library if you’re an avid reader of the subject. Mr Manchester is a very slow and bland narrator, he will put you to sleep.

Intro to American Civil War

This book is a great intro introduction into the American Civil War. If you're looking for a book that will ease you into the American Civil War I highly recommend this one.

OK short history of the Civil War

Nice and succinct. It touches on the major players, battles and points. It's the length of a podcast.

The excellent narration

I loved learning the details that are normally not revealed. I enjoyed the unbiased explanation on both sides of the conflict. A must read

beautiful
