About this listen

Chickamauga is Ambrose Bierce at his most merciless—and most poetic. A young, deaf boy, playing war with a wooden sword, wanders into the real aftermath of one of the bloodiest battles of the American Civil War. What begins as childlike adventure slowly unfolds into a grotesque, nightmarish vision of human destruction.

With chilling detachment and uncanny beauty, Bierce paints a surreal and horrifying picture of innocence lost in the fog of war. This story is not just a historical tale—it's a brutal commentary on the illusion of glory, the horror of conflict, and the fragile line between fantasy and reality.

PLEASE NOTE: when you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
