The Civil War, Vol 1 by Shelby Foote -- narrated by Grover Gardner -- unabridged (37.5 hrs)
Quote:
Here begins one of the most remarkable works of history ever fashioned. All the great battles are here, of course, from Bull Run through Shiloh, the Seven Days Battles, and Antietam, but so are the smaller ones: Ball’s Bluff, Fort Donelson, Pea Ridge, Island Ten, New Orleans, and Monitor versus Merrimac.

The word “narrative” is the key to this extraordinary book’s incandescence and its truth. The story is told entirely from the point of view of the people involved in it. One learns not only what was happening on all fronts but also how the author discovered it during his years of exhaustive research.

This first volume in Shelby Foote’s comprehensive history is a must-listen for anyone interested in one of the bloodiest wars in America’s history.
Note: lower prices for Whispersync Pairs - $4.99 ea for vol 1 & 2 (vol 3 not available).

Remember, you must own the Kindle books first and that checking them out from the public library counts as "ownership".
