About this listen

An officer accused of being a traitor says he "never wants to hear of the United States again". His wish is granted - and ends up being a terrible punishment.Public Domain (P)1979 Jimcin Recordings Anthologies Anthologies & Short Stories Classics Fiction Historical Fiction Short Story

Editorial reviews

Parents are forever reminding their children to choose their friends wisely, and in this classic by Edward Everett Hale listeners will hear how an association with one of America's most infamous traders can completely alter one's life. Jim Roberts, a veteran Audible narrator, performs this story with the confidence necessary to evoke its deep, patriotic message. The Man Without a Country is the regrettable tale of a young man who turns his back on his country, and because of a brash declaration, is forced to spend his remaining days stuck at sea.
