Voices From The Front, delivers the past as if it were as urgent as today's mail: listeners will experience the major events of The Civil War and World War I, through the simplicity and honesty, the clarity and color, of letters written from this country's sons to loved ones back home. These are not memoirs in hindsight, but the words, the viewpoints and the emotions of soldiers on the line, tinged with both the immediacy of each situation and the uncertainty of its outcome. Each tape in the series traces one battle or subject, reflecting it with added dimension by presenting accounts written by those on opposing forces. Side One begins with a short explanation of the battle's elements and significance, followed by approximately one dozen letters written by soldiers, sailors, or flyers engaged in the day-to-day fighting. Side Two actually turns the story around, with letters from the other side of the battle line. Each tape ends with a conclusion that includes notes on the fates of those whose words were heard.

The Civil War vol. I includes The Battle of Bull Run & Blockade Runners. The Battle of Bull Run describes the Civil War's first important battle, moment by moment, just as the action unfolded on July 21, 1861. Hear it exactly the way the soldiers fought it: the Union voices fill side one, the Confederate voices fill side two. In their words, you'll understand the grand strategy-and hear the private anguish- of the battle. Throughout the war, the Union's naval blockade was suppose to starve the Confederacy into submission. But daring Blockade Runners found ways to break through it. You'll hear their adventures & struggles firsthand-Southern sailors & Northern, pitted against each other.
