Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Sean Crisden’s narration is both commanding and nuanced, making every word feel impactful as he recounts the challenging yet inspiring journey of the 2nd Ranger Company. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of reflection that are crucial to understanding the complexities of their mission and legacy. Posey's writing is vivid and detailed, painting a picture of a time when African American soldiers faced not only external dangers but also internal strife due to racial prejudice. While the book is meticulously researched, the emotional weight of the stories sometimes feels slightly overshadowed by an overwhelming amount of historical data. Overall, this audiobook stands out as a compelling exploration of military history and civil rights struggles in the United States.
