Four years of war seem to define the United States more than any other historical era. Our politics, our culture, our society have either been shaped by the Civil War, or are a reaction to it. The gray states have turned to red states, but the divisions are no less real than they were in the 1860s.
Tony Horwitz has done an excellent job of exploring, if not explaining, the aftershocks of the war. His own fascination with the subject lets him report without irony, even when the subjects of his reportage are downright bizarre. I recommend this book to anyone interested in the impact of historical myth.
