Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3
The memoirs of Civil War generals are some of our most common sources that we look at when learning about this tumultuous conflict. But what about the voices of the common soldier? Frank Wilkeson aimed to rectify this and reassert the importance of looking at the accounts of the men who carried the muskets, served the guns, and rode into the heat of battle. Recollections of a Private Soldier in the Army of the Potomac is a wonderfully refreshing account of the American Civil War that takes listeners to the heart of what it would have been like to have served in the front ranks.

Good Summary of Complex Historical Period
I received a review copy of this audiobook.
I am not sufficiently familiar with WWII to say for sure whether these 50 events are really the key events to understand the period, but it seems to do a good job. I think I would prefer a text copy I could flip through over an audio version.

Succinct and informative.
A great quick review of WWII, especially for those who want a crash course. Well spoken, easy to follow, definitely recommend. If you have a decent knowledge of history already, it's thin, but a good overview. Enjoyed the narration - well done.
