What I Saw at Shiloh by Ambrose Bierce, narrated by Mike Vendetti. The audiobook is a first-hand account of the Battle of Shiloh, one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. Bierce, who was a soldier in the Union Army, was present at the battle and provides a vivid and often harrowing account of the fighting.
Vendetti's narration is excellent. He brings Bierce's words to life with his clear and expressive voice. He also does a good job of conveying the horror and violence of the battle.
The audiobook is a valuable historical document and a powerful reminder of the cost of war. It is also a well-written and engaging story that will stay with you long after you finish listening to it.
