LOST TRIUMPH: Lee's Real Plan at Gettysburg

Using knowledge of Robert E. Lee's education--and copious speculation--the author likens Lee's plan at Gettysburg to one of Napoleon Bonaparte's victorious conflicts. Carhart includes the circumstances of the Civil War and short bios of the principal players. Michael Prichard relieves the tedium of the text with an upbeat and lively approach, without which the listener might perish of boredom. He sounds as though he understands the back-and-forth comparisons of the complicated troop movements of armies fighting decades apart. As always, Prichard pronounces every letter of every word and never makes a mistake in pronunciation. Oh, that all audiobook narrators could make a save like this.
