great

great history...detail is good...excellent insight to use when touring the battlefields...passionate author and well read

the battlefield present day verbal tour

it was all very interesting. I am a civil war history student and have visited many of these battlefields.

Far more than a battlefield tour guide!!

I’ve listened to and tremendously enjoyed the civil war trilogy in addition to all of Jeff Shaara’s civil war historical novels. I am definitely a civil war buff. This book was one of the most enjoyable listens. Jeff Shaara gives a vivid portrayal of these battlefields while giving the listener a succinct but understandable description of the battle. I’ve read many great works written by the academic historians which, of course, are more detailed but this is one of my favorites.

The details were great and you suggest places you should see. you feel like you're there.

didn't want to put it down leaned a lot fond it was very well written

The authors honesty

The way the battle was explained in detail first. Then the authors, what seemed like,private guide, through the park/battlefeild.
