About this audiobook
Authoritative American history meets a fun listening experience in the first volume of The Seven-Day Scholar series, which chronicles significant moments in our nation’s heroic tragedy.
This audiobook is divided into 52 tracks that cover fascinating episodes of the Civil War. Each of these short entries, which read like historical fiction, covers crucial political decisions, unforgettable people, key battlefield moments, scholarly debates, what-ifs of the war, and struggles on the home front.
Listeners can sweep through the book from beginning to end or scroll week by week, becoming a “scholar” in each topic in just a few day's time. The Seven-Day Scholar also serves as a reference book, inviting listeners to dip in and out of topics they want to explore whenever they want.
