American Civil War

Războiul Civil American a sfâșiat o națiune tânără, punând frate contra frate într-un conflict care avea să remodeleze Statele Unite pentru totdeauna. Prin strategii de luptă, manevre politice și portrete ale unor figuri-cheie precum Lincoln, aceste cărți analizează alegerile și circumstanțele care i-au determinat pe americani să poarte război unii împotriva altora.

Worth my money and time, and really well made. I've never seen this quality of summaries on other websites. Very helpful!

— Em

Highly recommended!! Fantastic service. Perfect for those that want a little more than a teaser but not all the intricate details of a full audio book.
