Title: Shoddy scholarship and racially divisive
Review: Like other reviewers here, I share the view that McWhiney's book rests on scholastically shaky ground. What no one has pointed out, however, is the extent to which his work is used to support the racist ideologies of the Neo-confederate movement, and the fact that McWhiney himself sits on the board of one if its most virulent organizations, The League of the South. Before you give your money to this man, please learn all you can about him.
