The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War by H. W. Crocker
5.0
As a person who seeks the truth of all matters, these Politically Incorrect Guides are like holy testaments. Sort of. Generally speaking, though, they really do 'tell the other side of the story' that we don't get in most history books, or really at all, anywhere.
I read this book (and the P.I.G. to the South) for a project I was doing for my English class back in my last year of school. Both of these books were wonderfully written, in a rather amusing style that reminisced a little of the Dummies guide books.
This book, the guide to the civil war, really opened my eyes to what was going on in those times. How Lincoln really isn't the hero everyone thinks he is (you know the old adage 'history is written by the winners', well, it's true).
I do, truly, wish that the South had won the war. I think the world would be a better place right now, but alas, that's not how this world turned out to be.
