What listeners say
The audiobook garners mixed reactions from listeners, with many appreciating the historical depth and personal insights provided by the author. However, several listeners encountered significant issues with incomplete content and narration errors, such as repeating sentences and abrupt endings. Despite these technical shortcomings, the detailed account of historical events remains compelling for many enthusiasts. The variability in listening experiences is primarily attributed to content completeness and narration quality. Overall, the audiobook's strengths are often overshadowed by its flaws.

Book cuts off during Vicksburg campaign. Extremely poor quality of narrating at various points. Not recommended.

wtf? No Wilderness Campaign? No Appomattox Courthouse? No presidency? No world travels post presidency? It doesnt even finish Vicksburg. This audiobook is half complete at best. Narration is a sh*t show on track 16.

Great first half of his book! Someone forgot to upload the entire second half apparently. Narrator was good, but there was an entire chapter of him repeating sentences which was highly annoying! Gonna have to find another version just to finish the book. Wish I had known it wasn't full book before I started this.

The book is full of amazing explicit details especially of the war years. One chapter was a complete mess however as the narrator kept repeating lines and the whole chapter should be redone. Otherwise civil war buffs would be thrilled to hear it all but too much detail for most people.

Around the 5 hour mark my copy started repeating sentences very often and at one time caught the narrator on what I call a hot mic moment, all which I found very annoying. Had to stop reading this copy.

A most amazing history of the Mexican War and the Civil War written by a man that lived it.

The book was very interesting in showing what Grant had done before becoming president. It shows some of his views on various issues and battles. The narrator was good but at times stumbled a little and repeated some.

Is there a second book? I'd love to hear it. Obviously he wrote more, perhaps it's another subscription? Anyway, with so much detail it's surprising how interesting it is just being from grant himself

I enjoyed the book but this edition stops somewhere around the Vicksburg campaign. The detail that General Grant goes into is quite remarkable and for someone who lives in Memphis, Tennessee, I had forgotten how much of his early Civil War service was right around the area where I now live. I think this was one of the "free books" so anyone giving this a try needs to understand this is about half of the original book..
