Publisher's Summary
Millions of Americans, bored by dull textbooks, are in the dark about the most significant event in our history. Now New York Times bestselling author Kenneth C. Davis comes to the rescue, deftly sorting out the players, the politics, and the key events—Emancipation and Reconstruction, Shiloh and Gettysburg, Generals Grant and Lee, Harriet Beecher Stowe—and much more.
Drawing on moving eyewitness accounts, Davis includes a wealth of “hidden history” about the roles played by women and African Americans before and during the war, along with lesser-known facts that will enthrall even learned Civil War buffs. Vivid, informative, and hugely entertaining, Don’t Know Much About the Civil War is the only audiobook you’ll ever need on “the war that never ended.”

"Good Civil War book"
First 5 hours of the book covers the history of slavery in America and how it caused the Civil War.
After that, it spent the next 10 hours covering the actual Civil War and was a well balanced, honest report on the Civil War.3 of 3 people found this review helpful -
"Needs more Civil War info"
What disappointed you about Don't Know Much About the Civil War?It's more about an anti-slavery rant by author than Civil war History
Would you ever listen to anything by Kenneth C. Davis again?No
How did the narrator detract from the book?Yes. Was a spokesperson for anti-slavery,anti-founding fathers,etc...
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?Too much off topic history of slavery vs. Civil War History
Any additional comments?Can I get my money back and get a real Civil War History book?
