The Glorious Cause: A Novel of the American Revolution Audiobook

" Fascinating look at the key men during the Revolutionary War...particularly Washington and Cornwallis. "

" This guy just doesn't hold a candle to his father. I read a few of his books before I read Killer Angels and I enjoyed them, then after reading that Pulitzer Prize winner, I couldn't read the son again. Too bad for me, because I love the subject matter. Maybe I'll try again. "

" Another stupendous novel by Jeff Shaara. I feel like my insight into American History has greatly improved due to his well written novels. "

" I'm just not a war girl. "

" Great depiction of how The Revolutionary War was fought and won. Shaara brings all the players, American, British and French, to life. "

" This was a pretty good book, and to me, it unfolded as if I didn't know the story, which in fact, I didn't. Or I didn't remember enough American history from 10th grade and one or two field trips to amount to anything. It took me a while to get into it, but once I did, it was a page turner. Ian and I had listened to Rise to Rebellion (the prequel) once as a book on tape in the car, so I had some context. The author (Jeff Shaara) is the son of the guy who wrote the book Killer Angels (about the civil war). His writing style is compelling - he basically imagines and then writes the internal dialogues of the famous, important (and military) men. So I learned quite a bit about George Washington, Cornwallis, Gates, Greene and others. Very interesting! "

" One of my favorite books of all time. I am a huge history buff and this book was perfect. This is a must read for anyone. "

" Historical fiction regarding the American Revolution. "

" The sequel to Rise to Rebellion, The Glorious Cause is a historical fiction novel detailing the second half of the Revolutionary War. I did not enjoy this book as much as the first. Maybe the second half of the war was just more boring. "

" This is a first person historical account of the American Revolution. With characters like Washington, Franklin, and Cornwallis, it will surprise you how close we came to not gaining independence. "

" One of my all-time favorites. Great story and historically accurate. "

" Finishes out a great two book series on the American Revolution. I recommend this to anyone. "

" I still learned a lot but I feel it reads slower than the prequel Rise to Rebellion. Still an interesting read on the Revolutionary War. "

" I enjoyed this but for someone not interested in military strategy, this is a harder read than the Rise to Rebellion. "

" very excellent way to go through civil war history while remaining awake. "

" Second of a 2 volume set on the American Revolution. "

" I really liked the way Jeff did his research and brought to life the men and women of the American Revolution. "

" Didn't think I would like this book, because I thought it would be a dry accounting of battles and names. Instead, I finished feeling I knew Washington, Cornwallis, and Lafayette as real people. Don't let the history part scare you. "

" This book was interesting, if a bit slow moving. I felt like I better understood some of the possible motivations of Washington and other figures of the Revolution. Jeff Shaara did have an annoying, repetivite phrase that just about drove me nuts. (blah blah blah, thought, blah blah blah) "

" Long drawn out war, long drawn out book. "

" An absolutely mind-numbing story. Shaara manages to take history and write a novel. The writing is superb and as much as I love history, I never fell in love with the characters quite like how I did with this book. I recommend to everyone, along with the prequel, Rise to Rebellion. "

" Pure history, a fairly easy read, though. May debunk much of what you thought you knew about the Revolutionary War. "

" great read. very accurate and well researched. "

" The sequel to Rise to Rebellion, The Glorious Cause is a historical fiction novel detailing the second half of the Revolutionary War. I did not enjoy this book as much as the first. Maybe the second half of the war was just more boring. "

" When I think of historical fiction, I think of Jeff Shaara. Excellent, as expected. "

" This book was interesting, if a bit slow moving. I felt like I better understood some of the possible motivations of Washington and other figures of the Revolution. Jeff Shaara did have an annoying, repetivite phrase that just about drove me nuts. (blah blah blah, thought, blah blah blah) "

" Being a history buff---loves this format of learning more about the Revolutionary War. "

" Not a very good book at all. No where near the quality of God and Generals "

" I loved this book! Was a bit lengthy but so was the war...I think this should be required reading for all americans:) It really does bring into perspective what was sacraficed to make this great country a reality! "

" I loved reading more in depth about the Revolution and have a new found love for our founding fathers, especially George Washington. I can't wait to read more about him! "
