PROMISE OF GLORY

Tom Parker splendidly performs this fictional account of the Battle of Antietam, the single bloodiest day in American history. His deep and versatile voice presents Lee, Jackson, Longstreet, Hood, D.H. Hill, as well as McClellan, Fitz-John Porter, Hooker, Burnside, and a host of others. All the characters are consistently rendered with great skill. The lively narrative is as ably presented. Listening to a work such as this puts one into the confusion, excitement, and horror of combat. M.T.F. © AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 03]
