Acerca de esta escucha

From the bestselling author of The Hamilton Affair, a novel based on a thrilling chapter of Civil War history and African American history, how Harriet Tubman lead a Union raid to free 750 slaves.

It’s May 1863. Outgeneraled and outgunned, a demoralized Union Army has pulled back with massive losses at the Battle of Chancellorsville. Fort Sumter, hated symbol of the Rebellion, taunts the American navy with its artillery and underwater mines.

In Beaufort, South Carolina, one very special woman, code named Moses, is hatching a spectacular plan. Hunted by Confederates, revered by slaves, Harriet Tubman plots an expedition behind enemy lines to liberate hundreds of bondsmen and recruit them as soldiers. A bounty on her head, she has given up husband and home for the noblest cause: a nation of, by, and for the people.

The Tubman Command tells the story of Tubman at the height of her powers, when she devises the largest plantation raid of the Civil War. General David Hunter places her in charge of a team of black scouts even though skeptical of what one woman can accomplish. For her gamble to succeed, “Moses” must outwit alligators, overseers, slave catchers, sharpshooters, and even hostile Union soldiers to lead gunships up the Combahee River. Men stand in her way at every turn - though one reminds her that love shouldn’t have to be the price of freedom.

This book was very informative. It captured the nuances of the Civil War and Harriet Tubman 's contributions veer well.

A very good book

I am thoroughly enjoying this book and cannot stop listening. Harriet Tubman is my heroine, as she is many others. To have an inside view into her life is wonderful. I did not know much about this time in her life, so I am enjoying learning about every minute. Heidi Franklin (the narrator) does a great job with the different characters and her voice is wonderful. I have read some of the reviews -not liking the romance-although, yes, unnecessary, Elizabeth Cobbs handles it well and it does not dominate the story. Harriet is strong and keeps her focus. For anyone who loves Harriet Tubman and learning more about her life this is a must read/must listen!

Can't stop listening!

I'm partial to historical novels and this book is one of the best that I've read in a while. although the author had some challenges with her research as she describes in the author's note, this book is quite accurate with its historical recount of actual events. this book brings Harriet Tubman to life for the reader.

this is a really good read

Overall this was a great book. I will say at times it was hard to stay interested maybe because of the plot line. It was also hard to think of Harriet as having romantic feelings because she is almost always portrayed as a strong black serious woman; however, I think it was a nice caveat to what we’re used to from her. I would have love to meet her because she’s one of my favorite heroines.

Great book!

I recently watched the movie “Harriet” (which was awesome, go see it) and then ran out to get my hands on some books about her. What I discovered is that what is “known” about Harriet Tubman would fill about three pages. So historical fiction it is. I started a few other books and put them down just as quickly, preposterous and poorly written. This one was not only well-written (I’m looking up her other books immediately) but felt true to character. I thought the love story was a bit far fetched but it didn’t hurt the story and it gave an opportunity for a lot of dialogue and back story. All the characters came alive and I fell in love with many of them. That’s really the only complaint I can get near enough too. It’s a pretty da*n good book.

Amazing Woman, Very Good Book

The audio book was very good. The historically fictionalized book, was well told. The reader, Heidi Franklin, was able to take you on the journey with Harriet Tubman.

Very Good

Very grateful for this book and personally LOVE the inclusion of Tubman having a romantic interest. Tubman is so often seen as a strong, bold, brave black woman, sometimes to the point of stereotype. This portrayal is a reminder that strong, bold, brave black women are WOMEN too. To be both is a strength that is constantly forgotten or erased.

Brave and Woman - Brava!

Thoroughly enjoyed this historical novel & an introduction to a new author for me. I will definitely be checking out her other work. Thank you for a well told story.

A tribute to a fearless female leader

Romance novelized story came as a confusing surprise. Reader, really a wonderful actress, however, was terrific.
