The Glorious Cause (Abridged) Audiobook

" A novel of the American Revolution that contines where Rise To Rebellion left off in 1776, and follows the war to it's conclusion in 1783. Interesting. "

" I really enjoy Shaara's writing. This is a wonderful book that brings to life the events of the American Revolution while attempting to get behind some of the feelings and emotions of the key players that we all know as icons of American history. "

" A worthwhile book that fits well with it's companion volume. "

" This is the second book about the American Revolution. I really enjoyed both books. "

" Loved it but Christopher claims Jeff is not as strong as his dad, Michael Shaara. Now THAT is a recommendation! "

" makes one proud to be an American. They did so much with so little. "

" Another very enjoyable book written by Jeff Shaara, portraying the struggles of our great American heroes that allowed us to have this great freedom we enjoy. "

" Read this over the 4th of July holiday and it was the perfect book for what I was craving. Great history with a personal touch of a story that makes it read like fiction. Great stuff. "

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

" This book is written much like a nonfiction book, with some conversation added in. I like historical fictions, but this is not the best I have read. Worth the read, but hard to follow at times, I felt that there were loose ends not wrapped up, etc. "

" 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. "

" I did not find this book to be to Jeff Shaara's previous standards. Although his format demands length and full situational explanations, this book was simply too long "

" Not as interesting as his other Civil War books. "

" 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) "

" Part Two of the Series that began with Rise to Rebellion. This book is just as well written and enjoyable to read. If you are looking for something on the Revolutionary War then read both of these books. "

" 2nd book from Shaara about the Ameican Revolution. Just an amazing perspective on our history. No doubt about a divine hand in things, along with the English arrogance. "

" 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! "

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

" 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! "

" They should have had us read all 3 of his books on this subject in American History class. "

" 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. "

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

" Love, love, love it. If textbooks read like this, there would be a lot more school age kids that are knowledgeable in the history of this country. "

" Definately worth the read. Not dry and boring! "

" 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! "
