Description
James M. McPherson, professor emeritus of U.S. history at Princeton, is one of the foremost scholars of the Civil War. In this informative and meticulously researched masterpiece, he clarifies the differing ways of life and philosophy that led to this shattering conflict.
Abraham Lincoln wondered whether in a free government the minority have the right to break up the government. Jefferson Davis felt forced to take up arms to guarantee his states rights. McPherson merges the words of these men and other political luminaries, housewives, and soldiers from both armies with his own concise analysis of the war to create a story as compelling as any novel.
Battle Cry of Freedom vividly traces how a new nation was forged when a war both sides were sure would amount to little dragged for four years and cost more American lives than all other wars combined. Narrator Jonathan Davis powerful reading brings to life the many voices of the Civil War.

Earned its Pulitzer
The best one-volume history of the civil war era, gives background and consequences rather than just military history. Well read, occasional place name mispronunciation (KY-row for KAY-row) can be forgiven. How balloon housing construction emerged from the stonemasons all being at war shows the war is still with us.

Good book, not super well read
I don't know why, but in places this is read very robotically - like someone who stumbles over the grammar of an unfamiliar sentence and stresses the wrong words. Why were these takes kept in? Along with the butchery of some French words? The book is definitely worthwhile, but the performance is not up to the level I expect, much less the standard of the best narrators.
