Excellent writer. Good read even if you’re not a Civil War buff.

I had to read this for a U.S. History class in college, and really enjoyed it. It's especially entertaining (and/or disturbing) if you have lived in the South or know people who do.

Absolutely perfect. the most insightful, touching, disturbing, and endearing view of my Southland. It may be about the War of Northern Agression, but underneath the stories are the people who tell them.

Equal parts hilarious and depressing. Incredibly interesting look at the south.

Excellent read. Really surprised me with all the different personalities encountered for this work. Also cosplaying confederates? Weird.

This is a very informative book as to the attitudes of southerners toward the civil war, even being 25 years old. however, I came away feeling like the author internalized the feelings of white southerners far more than those of black southerners. He thinks the confederates are cool.
