Reseñas de la Crítica

"[The Civil War] is everything we have come to expect from the practiced hand of Bruce Catton: scholarly, judicious, clear, and unfailingly interesting. It would be difficult to find a better introduction to the Civil War than this book.

A Good Account of the War.

Enjoyed the clean accurate account of everything in the war. It has a clean story and the Narrative does it credit. All and All it was well done.

Informative

A well done short version of the civil war. Very informative. A great general introduction to the war.

Very clear outline of the Civil War

This is a very clear outline of the American Civil War, allowing the reader to have a general understanding of the war from which they can seek more detailed information from other sources. Very well written.

Good book, mediocre delivery

The account seems detailed enough to provide a novice on the topic, like me, a solid overview of the American civil war.
I first wondered if it was read by one of those software programs that does narration for some YouTube videos. The delivery is very mechanical, dry, and a bit monotone. It was easy to hear and understand. Just seemed to lack any passion, emotion, or personality.

The Civil War

Excellent! Succinct, articulate and professionally read. Bruce Catton is truly one of the greatest writers of Civil War History.
