The Civil War • Audiobook

An unforgettable audio journey into a war that pitched "brother against brother." More than 600,000 Americans died in this war— more than all other wars combined. But most children are never taught about the complexities of this cataclysmic conflict. "In many schools these days, students aren’t being taught about the individual battles and struggles of our nation’s history, including Gettysburg."   5 Star review Great Battles for Boys: The Civil War. From the opening shots fired at Fort Sumter to the Confederate surrender at Appomattox, boys will move chronologically through 20 crucial Civil War battles.

Grant bombs, terrorizes, and starves a southern city into surrender. Antietam: Confederate General Robert E. Lee invades the North, and pays a terrible price.
