Audio Reviews:

"A superb symphony of voices will both delight and move the listener in this marriage of evocative text and remarkable characterizations - offering the listener a strong advantage over the print reader of this complex book."
                     Earphones Award, AudioFile
 
"A talented cast...rises to the task with gusto, handling dialect and accent with much care. All in all, this is a memorable, human look at history."
                     Starred Review, Publishers Weekly
 
"The Civil War comes alive ...Bull Run is perfectly suited to audio format and this production offers a rich mix of vocal styles and will entertain a wide range of ages and interest groups."
                     -School Library Journal
 
"The sixteen voices in this multi-voices production allow the book to be heard as it was meant to be: an intricate piece of music with movements, recurring themese and interwoven melodies. Overall this recording surpasses the fine version by Recorded Books."
                     -Horn Book

SYNOPSIS:

What is truly in the minds of the people who fight a war? Bull Run is the voices of the frontline soldiers, their friends and families, their leaders. North/south, white/black, adult/child- a disparate and compelling choir of voices relates the carnage of war in a totally unique way.
