Title: Just average.
Product review: What a disappointment. This book was a somewhat interesting read, as I'm both intrigued by the South and a Civil War buff. However, Horwitz's "I'm above it all" tone is unpleasant; his seeming expectation that every Civil War battlefield should remain a pristine, undeveloped sanctuary is unrealistic; his endless criticism of the minute is at first boring, then annoying. (As a native Southern Californian, you'll forgive me for not being shocked that there are mini-malls in the South.) I am sorry that I wasted my money buying a copy of this book, as I will not be picking it up again in the future.
