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

4.0

A fascinating and raw look into the world of Civil War reenacting and The South's complex history with racial tensions, politics, civil rights, and more. Equal parts entertaining, funny, shocking, maddening, sad, interesting, infuriating, etc. Although the occasional deep dive into Civil War facts / battles can become dull for a non-Civil War Buff like myself, it is still a great read and remains timely. Even though it was written in 1998, the complex perspectives and social conflicts that are discussed are still extremely relevant and troubling.
