Title: The Abridged Tapes of the Last Full Measure
Review: The book may be excellent, but I would avoid the abridged tape. There are so many discontinuities, the tapes are very confusing. Example: Tape 2 ends discussing 11 May (the Wilderness). Tape 3 begins on 29 June with Joshua Chamberlin in a hospital recovering from a wound. How did Joshua Chamberlin get wounded? If you listen to the tapes, you will not know. During the scene in the hospital he receives a promotion for gallantry at Petersburg. The tapes never discuss this gallantry. I am very curious why Jeff Shaara authorized this abridged version when he could have had a complete audiotape made.Stephen Lang has an excellent accent but overemphasizes depression and sorrow throughout the story. Every sentence seems to sound of this.Avoid the abridged tapes. Insist that Jeff Shaara make a complete set.
