Title: A story that needed telling.
Review: This was a story that needed telling--as someone has wisely said, all history is usually written by the winners to make the losers out to be the bad guys! The authors make a good case that the South DID have the legal right to secede from the Union--after all, didn't the 13 original Colonies secede from the British Empire?--but I could have done without the constant use of the term "Yankee" as a perjorative. For that reason it lost one star in my rating, but overall a good read. By the way, the reader had BETTER have an open mind, because if he doesn't, the portrayal of Abraham Lincoln and other Northern Leaders in this book is going to drive him or her right up the wall!
