Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Craig Wasson's performance in Perfidia is nothing short of stellar. His narration isn't just about delivering lines; it’s about breathing life into a world on the cusp of chaos. The pacing is impeccable, allowing for moments of intense tension to seamlessly transition into quieter, more introspective passages. One critique: while the historical detail is meticulous, occasionally the narrative can feel bogged down by too many characters and their intertwined stories. Despite this, Perfidia remains a gripping listen that immerses you in a pivotal moment in American history.
