AudioFile Magazine
Claiming that his book is distinct from the thousands of previous books about the Civil War, Andrew Ward focuses on the civilian experiences of slaves during this period. Narrator Richard Allen turns those memories, told in the uneducated Negro slang of the period, into a masterpiece of credibility. Allen does the accent and mispronunciations so well that one can believe he has become those downtrodden people of the American South. The stories vary from the most gruesome--burying body parts after bloody battles--to the most heartening--reuniting families torn asunder by the sale of unlucky members. Allen's voices tell of all aspects of slaves' daily lives during the war: meager food, childbirth, loyalty and disloyalty to masters, fear of the Yankees, and the witnessing of terrible atrocities.

Starred review from August 25, 2008
In Ward’s groundbreaking history, the Civil War is recounted from the previously silent victims that it most directly affected: the slaves themselves. Through hundreds of interviews, diaries, letters and memoirs, Ward offers an entirely new perspective of the war and firm-voiced Richard Allen presents the material with tremendous passion. Allen reads at a solid pace, letting every word seep in so that by the end of the book, the outrageous tragedy of slavery saturates each listener. With believable and realistic shifts in tone and dialect, Allen displays his inherent storytelling talent by furthering the previously silenced voices of slaves. A truly compelling listening experience that demands repeated listenings. A Houghton Mifflin hardcover.
