Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Timothy Andrés Pabon's narration is nothing short of exceptional, providing an authoritative yet approachable voice to Wehrman’s complex narrative. The pacing is perfect, neither too fast nor too slow, allowing ample time for reflection on each historical moment. Specific scenes, such as the inoculation procedures and their impact on soldiers’ morale, are vividly brought to life through Pabon's emotive delivery. However, some sections feel slightly rushed, particularly when transitioning between broader historical overviews and detailed medical descriptions. Despite this minor critique, 'The Contagion of Liberty' remains a compelling audiobook that offers listeners a unique perspective on American history. It’s not just about the war; it’s about how smallpox shaped a nation.
