I first read this quasi-travel book about Horwitz' look into how the Civil War is remembered, celebrated and sometimes reviled in the modern South when it first came out in the late 90s. It holds up fantastically well. Horwitz is a great writer and reporter, able to spot the most interesting angle in any story. I'll probably read this again in a few years. 391 pages. Grade: A+
