Our Man in Charleston
Christopher Dickey; read by Antony Ferguson
As tension over slavery and western expansion threatened to break the US into civil war, the Southern states found themselves squeezed between two nearly irreconcilable realities: the survival of the Confederate economy would require the importation of more slaves, a practice banned in America since 1807, but the existence of the Confederacy itself could not be secured without official recognition from Great Britain, who would never countenance reopening the Atlantic slave trade.

by Michael J. Robillard and Bradley J. Strawser; read by Rudy Sanda
