Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 221
On his 19th birthday, James E. Brown tries to fake to his flight instructor that he has flown before. On his 21st birthday, Brown is on his way home after logging 85 missions in a P-47 fighter over Italy, France, and Germany. Brown's stories surrounding his training and combat experiences in World War II reveal brushes with death, continuous peril and, ultimately, a coming of age for a young man whose freshman year in college becomes instead a heroic engagement with one of the fiercest enemies his country has ever encountered.

On the night of February 17, 1864, the tiny Confederate submarine HL Hunley made its way toward the USS Housatonic just outside Charleston harbor. Within a matter of hours, the Union ship’s stern was blown open in a spray of wood planks. The explosion sank the ship, killing many of its crew. And the submarine, the first ever to be successful in combat, disappeared without a trace. For 131 years the eight-man crew of the HL Hunley lay in their watery graves, undiscovered.

Great Book

I have read and listened to many books on the civil war. After a time it’s difficult to listen to some of the topics you know so well even though they are interesting. This book was a wonderful new version of information I had known little about before

They were the men of the now-legendary Easy Company. After almost two years of hard training, they parachuted into Normandy on D-Day and, later, Operation Market Garden. They fought their way through Belgium, France, and Germany, survived overwhelming odds, liberated concentration camps, and drank a victory toast in April 1945 at Hitler's hideout in the Alps.

Best book on the band of brothers there is

This book may be even better than the original book itself. I very much enjoyed it and it brought in the stories of guys you previously hadn’t heard of before

General Stonewall Jackson was like no one anyone had ever seen. In April of 1862 he was merely another Confederate general with only a single battle credential in an army fighting in what seemed to be a losing cause. By middle June he had engineered perhaps the greatest military campaign in American history and was one of the most famous men in the Western World. He had given the Confederate cause what it had recently lacked: hope.

Has become one of my favorite books
Revisado: 01-23-15
What made the experience of listening to Rebel Yell the most enjoyable?
Fantastic mix of Jackson's life with his service in the Civil War. Many first hand accounts from letters written by Jackson himself as well as friends, offer great incite into the obscure thought process that often took place in his mind. He is a great American and this book portrays that.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jackson himself. His thoughts, motives and actions are an extremely interesting combination in a man of his position
Which scene was your favorite?
Jackson's funeral
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Many, including the description of his childhood along with the loss of his first wife. The description of him being shot was a fantastic event as well
