The Growth of the American Republic tells the story of how an insignificant string of colonies on the Eastern Seaboard transformed itself into the richest and most powerful nation in history.

Drawing on previously unpublished eyewitness accounts, prizewinning historian Donald L. Miller has written what critics are calling one of the most powerful accounts of warfare ever published. Here are the horror and heroism of World War II in the words of the men who fought it, the journalists who covered it, and the civilians who were caught in its fury. Miller gives us an up-close, deeply personal view of a war that was more savagely fought - and whose outcome was in greater doubt - than one might imagine. This is the war that Americans on the home front would have read about had they had access to previously censored testimony.

First published in 1930, it remains unsurpassed for the range and depth of its coverage, extending from social, geographical, and economic factors to the events, personalities, and conflicts that shaped the history of this nation. The Growth of the American Republic also stands among historical writings as a paragon of readability, clarity, and accessibility.

This audio volume, Part Two, features chapters 30-49, covering 1860-1917, Lincoln, Secession, Civil War through Woodrow Wilson.
