Narrator Dion Graham's softly-cadenced voice is the perfect foil for the tumultuous events of post-Civil War Reconstruction. Carefully differentiating Bartoletti's narrative from the first-hand accounts of freed slaves, former owners, and Confederate generals, Graham paints a disturbingly human picture of the Southern culture that gave birth to the KKK and its white supremacy movement.

I just finished it as well and it is very compelling. Dion Graham's voice provides wonderful pacing. Seeing the photographs on disc 5 completes the experience. Great nonfiction audio.
