Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause by Ty Seidule

3.0

There were several good chapters in this book but a few seemed too long, repetitive and poorly edited. He admits to being righteous in what seems to be his recent awakening to his own racism. It may this righteousness that causes him to be repetitive. What I found very interesting is that his girlfriend, who later became his wife, told him of his racist views before they married yet it took him decades to realize it for himself. Didn't give her much credit at the time apparently. He does a great job of taking Robert E Lee down however and I appreciated his writing about the military and federal governments role in casting Lee as some sort of hero.
