History of Red Deadwhich is currently released on August 6, 2024, was written by a History Professor Tore C. Olssonwho was known for using Red Dead Redemption and its Sequel Red Dead Redemption 2 as a way to teach his students at the University of Tennessee on American History between 1899 – 1911.
Roger Clark will narrate the Audiobook, which has a price $14.99and will venture into Americas Violent Wild West Past, using the Storytelling taken from Red Dead due to how historically accurate the games are, along with adding context from real world events.
The Blurb for the Book, which can be found on Macmillan and Amazon says:
In this engaging book, award-winning American history professor Tore Olsson takes on that question and more. Weaving the games’ plots and characters into an exploration of American violence between 1870 and 1920, Olsson shows that it was more often disputes over capitalism and race, not just poker games and bank robberies, that fueled the bloodshed of those turbulent years. As such, this era has much to teach us today. From the West to the Deep South to Appalachia, Olsson reveals the gritty and brutal world that inspired the games, but sometimes lacks context and complexity on the digital screen. Colorful, fast-paced and dramatic, Red Dead’s History sheds light on dark corners of the American past for gamers and history buffs alike.
Tore C. Ollsen announced the book in October 2023 and we’ve been excited about it ever since he let us know that Roger Clark voice the Audiobook is an incredible release and we can’t wait to hear and read it.
