The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War

"The politically correct history that dominates our schools and universities insists that Jefferson Davis was another Hitler, Robert E. Lee was the equivalent of Rommel, and the Confederate States of America was our own little version of the Third Reich - a blot on American history. But reality, as always, was different: the Old South, as H. W. Crocker III explains in The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War, had immense charm, grace, and merit - and a very strong Constitutional case. This book is a joyful, myth-busting, rebel yell that shatters today's Leftist and demeaning stereotypes about the South and the Civil War - and shows why, in the words of G. K. Chesterton, "America and the whole world is crying out for the spirit of the Old South.""--BOOK JACKET.

His journalism has appeared in National Review, the American Spectator, the Washington Times, and many other outlets.
