Unabridged Audiobook
This is a fact-filled book contains all you would ever wish to know about Gettysburg between July 1 and July 3, 1863. It is so packed full of information, that it is not the best selection for the commmuter. The Narrator doesn't help matters - he just keeps rambling on, without a gap between topics/destinations. It was extremely hard to follow. For those who aren't driving, this does seem interesting, though very dry. Again, I think a big part of the problem is the Narrator in this respect.
Too much like others of this period and not very interesting.
In fairness, my problem was probably a mismatch of author's intent and my hopes. I wanted a thoughful but perhaps uplifting story of that seminal battle in our history ... more like the feeling from PBS's great Civil War series, and what this book delivers is a chronological (and I found deadly dull) account of physical troop movements during the day. Now, this may absolutely delight a Civil War/Gettyburg buff, so please take my comments in perspective. Went back right away.
