Keith Kaplan

Good restrospective. Concise- perhaps too concise

Revisado: 03-16-24

Should have had more detailed description of his work on the Subcommittee. The book was mostly over when that incredibly important part of the story began.

A masterpiece

Revisado: 10-22-23

It was a pleasure to experience this book on audio, many years after reading it soon after it came out. McPherson was able to miraculously tell a very complex story in a one volume format.

He uses great metaphors and provides needed context to really help the reader understand the events, so this is a book that is appropriate both for people who are unfamiliar with Civil War history, and for people who have read dozens or more Civil War books.

The voice artist mispronounces a couple of names (esp Rosecrans) and has a couple of other quirks, but he does a good job of changing tone and emphasis to keep the reader engaged.

Good conclusions, more specifics needed

Revisado: 01-21-18

Congressman Gibson is an American hero. His policy recommendations are excellent, but more specifics are needed on how we can implement the reforms he calls for. I would also like to know what he plans to do, and what the ordinary citizen can and should do.

Excellent audio performance and book

Revisado: 12-04-16

Narrator did a nice job keeping the pace and avoiding monotone. Excellent book; I had read it years ago and it was still fun to listen to.
