Summary: Great Book For Civil War Fans
Comment: I bought this book because I wanted to learn more about the confederacy. I was impressed with the detail this book had. It explained alot of the incidents of the often neglected Western Confederacy(Texas,Arkansas, Western Tennesse,etc.) and this was a great addition to my knowledge of this great war. The author takes the side of the south as he refers to Union General Sherman as a "terrorist". Overall a great book about the hardships the Confederacy and its population had to suffer through. I think this is an excellent book and would recommend it to anyone who wants to read about the South during the Civil War.

Summary: Hey, How 'Bout Them Rebs?
Comment: It's about time someone gave us a really good look at Southern civilians during the Civil War, and this book does a better job than anything else I've read. It does look at the battles and the famous leaders, but even better it shows how the war years and afterward affected the common folk. There's also a really good chapter on the life of the average Southern soldier, the thousands of nameless Johnny Rebs. The chapter on the Confederate navy was welcome, and so was a chapter on Southern politics during the war. As a South Carolina boy, I give this a thumbs up and a good hearty Rebel yell too.

Summary: Made History as Painless as Possible
Comment: I am a Civil War re-enactor but admit I don't really like to READ history that much. But I did enjoy this a lot (got it as a Christmas gift) and recommend it. The background about all the politics and social issues leading up to the war was very helpful, gave me a new perspective on the roots of the war and secession. I knew a fair amount about some of the Confederate generals but wasn't too well versed in the politicians, so this book was an education. While I found a few minor errors in the index (not a big deal), the book was overall very thorough and well researched. The little boxed items scattered through the book (the "RebeLingo" items) were amusing and helpful. The author even had a section on us re-enactors, so I give him an extra star just for that!
