hgwalsh12 's review for:
Confederates in the Attic was written in the late 90s, but really feels like it could have come out any time since 2015 and the rise of the 'alt-right.' The chapters about the killing in Kentucky, and the schools in Alabama are riveting, even if they are horrifying. I think the book is redeemed by those two chapters into being worth reading.
I say redeemed because much of it is a meandering travelogue through the Southeast US. Anecdotes and random bar conversations can be interesting at times, but it feels likes its spinning its wheels for the middle third-to-half. I'd fully recommend skipping the middle chapter about the 'Civil Wargasm.' This book sets itself up sectionally. Pick the good sections and you'll enjoy it.
