THE GUN

A powerful story of Spain in Napoleon's time presents a revolutionary period of beheadings, castration, crucifixion, amputation and mass arsenic poisonings. An 18-pound cannon, "the gun," aids a small band of desperate guerillas in breaking the French forces of Joseph Bonaparte. Although the story begins at a slow pace, Richard Green's flat nasal intonation weaves a spell-binding tale of history, gore and war. The recording is enhanced by top quality sound with no trace of background noise. R.H.M. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT 92]
