Detailed overview

If you want an engaging and well written overview of this massive, but forgotten, battle, and don't want to delve into hundreds of pages of minute details, this is perfect for you!

Good overview in a bit over an hour.

As a resident of Murfreesboro, I am always interested in the history of the battle that this short audio book provides. As the author notes, it seems a somewhat overlooked major battle of the war. The battlefield is worth a visit for a Nashville tourist who enjoys history and only about 30 minutes away (when traffic obliges, which is unfortunately seldom).
