It took me a long time to finish this.

I am a minor civil war buff. I couldn't get into this book. The pacing is slow.

The story is interesting, but the narrative prose gives the same information later quoted in a primary source.

Notably, I didn't give up on the book. It was worth reading and have a reminder about the history of white supremacy that continues today, the atrocities and the white washing, the post-war selling out of the poor south and the Lost Cause.
