Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War by Tony Horwitz

5.0

Fascinating, entertaining, important. I've been meaning to read this for at least a decade, but if I'd read it earlier I wouldn't have seen all the foreshadowing of Tea Party politics as clearly. In his interviews, he was empathetic and fair with everyone he talked to, and in his reflections, he thought deeply about why the Civil War has such a hold o his imagination and about how its legacy affects this country so many years later.
