Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

That being said, I did feel like Murray occasionally gets bogged down in the minutiae of military strategy and operations – while this is undeniably a crucial aspect of the story, it's not always the most engaging. Additionally, some listeners may find the pace a bit slow in places, particularly during the lengthy, detailed descriptions of the battle's various phases. However, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise outstanding audiobook.
