    About this audiobook

    While most courses focus on the entire sweep of the conflict, this course presents an in-depth examination of the waning days of the great struggle. We'll examine the dramatic events leading up to April 1865 and ponder some of the unthinkable alternatives that, had they materialized, would have surely prevented the formation of the country we know today.

      I'm confused as to how to review this "book". This was a collection of lectures on audio spoken by Professor Jay Winik telling the facts and details of the end of the Civil War and its effects on the United States. The information and revelations that were presented were fascinating and very thought provoking. In that instance the "book" was good but the delivery of Professor Winik left much to be desired - he was very repetitive as if any students of his lectures weren't paying attention and lacked imagination in changing the words so that he was constanting repeating himself on discriptive words.Can't say that I would recommend this "book" to anyone.
