2.0

A collection of review-essays of various histories of Revolutionary-era America, written from the 1970s to the 2000s.

As an audiobook, it's competently narrated, but the actual value probably comes more from having a physical copy you can refer to before or after reading the books reviewed within. I'm going to give the physical copy 3 stars.
