Think you know the Civil War? You don't know the full story until
you read The Politically Incorrect GuideTM to the Civil War
Bestselling author and former Conservative Book Club editor H. W.
Crocker III offers a quick and lively study of America's own
Iliad--the Civil War--in this provocative and entertaining addition
to The Politically Incorrect GuideTM series. In The Politically
Incorrect GuideTM to the Civil War Crocker profiles eminent--and
colorful--military generals including the noble Lee, the
controversial Sherman, the indefatigable Grant, the legendary
Stonewall Jackson, and the notorious Nathan Bedford Forrest. He
also includes thought-provoking chapters such as "The Civil War in
Sixteen Battles You Should Know" and the most devastatingly
politically incorrect chapter of all, "What If the South Had Won?"
Along the way, he reveals a huge number of little-known truths,
including why Robert E. Lee had a higher regard for African
Americans than Lincoln did; how, if there had been no Civil War,
the South would have abolished slavery peaceably (as every other
country in the Western Hemisphere did in the nineteenth century);
and how the Confederate States of America might have helped the
Allies win World War I sooner. Bet your history professor never
told you: * Leading Northern generals--like McClellan and
Sherman--hated abolitionists * Bombing people "back to the Stone
Age" got its start with the Federal siege of Vicksburg * General
Sherman professed not to know which was "the greater evil": slavery
or democracy * Stonewall Jackson founded a Sunday school for slaves
where he taught them how to read * General James Longstreet fought
the Battle of Sharpsburg in his carpet slippers This is the
Politically Incorrect GuideTM that every Civil War buff and
Southern partisan--and everyone who is tired of liberal self-hatred
that vilifies America's greatest heroes--must have on his
bookshelf.
