About this listen

Get ready for a rousing rebel yell as best-selling author H. W. Crocker III charges through bunkers and battlefields in The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War. Crocker busts myths and shatters stereotypes as he profiles eminent and colorful military generals, revealing little-known truths, like why Robert E. Lee had a higher regard for African-Americans than Lincoln did. Crocker culminates his tome in the most politically incorrect chapter of all: "What If the South Had Won." This is the "P.I." Guide that every Civil War buff and Southern partisan will want on their bookshelf, in their classroom, and under their Christmas tree.©2008 H. W. Crocker III (P)2008 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

I'm not an expert on the civil war, so cannot judge its accuracy, but it seemed to be fairly impartial (but at the same time, aware of biases and the told this plays in the current political discourse)

I quite liked it

An excellent book to add balance to the normal story. Also a great insight to the key players

Eye opening

History is usually written by the victors, it’s been said, and that certainly seems true of the American Civil War. This book, however, gives a different perspective and calls into question many of the accepted (Yankee) preconceptions.
The Southern states, we learn, had a strong case under the constitution for seceding from the Union, and Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, which didn’t in fact free any slaves, flew in the face of the Supreme Court decision six years earlier which ruled that slavery was legal in all US territories.
This book provides valuable balance to those with a blue rather than grey standpoint. A must read.

A partisan trot around the ACW. Revealing and annoying by turns. Difficult not to listen to every damned word.

Certainly Not PC
