Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Todd Curless’s performance is nothing short of remarkable, his deep Southern drawl adding a rich layer to each character he brings to life. The pacing is impeccable, with pauses that allow listeners time to digest the historical complexity. Strom’s writing is engaging, painting vivid scenes of Cuban landscapes and the stark contrast between the soldiers’ expectations and reality. However, some sections could benefit from more contextual background to fully appreciate the political climate of the era. Overall, ‘Confederates in the Tropics’ is a must-listen for history enthusiasts and those intrigued by the unexpected paths of American heroes.
