Title: Confederates in the Attic
Product review: A page-turner, it's not. But I loved it just the same. I give more than half the credit to Horwitz's writing. This book could have been a "this happened, then this happened, then we did this..." but it wasn't and I'm not sure how he did it. I found the concept of visiting Civil War battlefields with an reenactor fascinating (and funny at times) and I loved the conversations about race (as disturbing as they were some times). I'm a Yankee who moved to North Carolina in 2001 and there have been moments when I've wondered whether Southern folks had any residual resentment. Confederates... was full of insights along those lines!
