I was wondering if anyone knows of a good audio book on American history or on the Constitution?

Thanks.

Every thing from The Teaching Company is of high quality.

The Americanization of Benjamin Franklin – by Gordon Wood, this is the only audio book I have on the American Revolution era. I am a history major, and just finished classes on the American Revolution and on the Am Civil War, so I know lots of great books. I would suppose you can find most books on audio book if you try Amazon.

If you can be more specific about what time you are looking for maybe I can help. Also are you interested in military history or social history?

Thanks for the reply...

I think right now I'm mostly interested in learning more about the Constitution and the Bill of rights.

Are you familiar with: James Madison and the Struggle for the Bill of Rights by Richard Labunski.?

Or

1776 [AUDIOBOOK] [UNABRIDGED] (Audio CD) by David McCullough?

Thanks for the help.

I have read the book "1776" and quite enjoyed it. It focuses on the war side of the revolution, in school we study the social aspects of the revolutionary war. The book is quite readable (I assume the audio version would be good as well)
