Here is the final volume of the highly acclaimed narrative history named one of the best nonfiction books of the century by National Review.

Outstanding

The accomplishment is astounding. I could not be more grateful for Shelby Foote. Grover Gardner's performance is superb. Thank you all.

Extraordinary in writing, poetic in language and phrasing.

So well written that you find yourself feeling anxiety for the fate of individuals to whom you’ve been introduced....as if they had a current presence in your life...

Fascinating History

The Civil War has never been my favorite part of history, but this three volume series is so comprehensive that it becomes very fascinating. The prose is extremely well-written for a history book. The author makes this read like a story instead of a boring narrative. The book leaves out few details and is one of the most comprehensive histories I have ever read. The narrator does a great job and paces the reading at a good speed.

Simply the best

Comprehensive. Wonderful use of language. Fabulous narrator. A Civil War buff's dream. I've read them twice and listened to them twice. So help me, after finishing the third volume I want to start the first one again. And I might.
