Summary: George C. Scott and War; Together Again!
Review: Ah, just listening to ol' George narrating this gives one the testosterone chills but let's not forget the excellent use of speeches to make the Civil War points stand out and focus us on the feeling and passion of the times. What a trove of information with well-paced events and downright eerie coincidences. Did you know Robert E. Lee was the officer in charge of the company of troops that arrested John Brown's raiders? Good stuff like that throughout. I want to pick up the series of these now. I'll let ya'll know what I hear!

Summary: GGGGreat!
Review: I listened to the tapes with such intensity, that I was actually looking forward to the commute. This is the true history that should be taught in the schools not the fiction that is being fed to the children of today. I will be listening to the tape series again for the second time. It is a must even if you think you know the ACW.

Summary: Fabulous insight into the cause and impact of the Civil War
Review: This audio tape begins with the events leading up to the war and examines the political, social, and economic trends that lead to, carried through, and followed one of the most horrific events in American history. This tape series examines the battles of the war and their impact on both the North and the South. It quotes letters from those who lived the war, speeches of the politicians who sanctioned (and opposed it), and the legislation that lead to and came as a result of it. It integrates the events to tell the true story of the horror, the hope, and the success of our country's darkest hours.

Summary: The best Civil War Audio Book on the Market
Review: This is the best American Civil War audio tape on the market. George C. Scott narrates, also each character that reads their historical lines have that states or countries accent. Additionally, they read their lines with passion and feeling.
This starts out with the many reasons for the war, and quotes many events and details of importance.
The Audio tape, has neither a "We were right, and they were wrong" approach, or a Northern or Southern view.
It is unbiased history.
If someone wanted to learn about the American Civil War, and had little knowledge, or were very knowledgeable, they will greatly enjoy this Audio book.
