The Civil War: A Narrative, Vol. 1: Fort Sumter to Perryville (by Shelby Foote) (UNABRIDGED AUDIOBOOK) for iOS

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: Balls Bluff, Fort Donelson, Pea Ridge, Island Ten, New Orleans, and Monitor versus Merrimac.The word narrative is the key to this extraordinary books 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 Footes comprehensive history is a must-listen for anyone interested in one of the bloodiest wars in Americas history.Download your book directly over Wi-Fi or cellular network and begin listening as soon as the first track downloads.
