Was the Confederacy doomed from the start in its struggle against the superior might of the Union? Did its forces fight heroically against all odds for the cause of states’ rights? In reality; these suggestions are an elaborate and intentional effort on the part of Southerners to rationalize the secession and the war itself. Unfortunately; skillful propagandists have been so successful in promoting this romanticized view that the Lost Cause has assumed a life of its own. Misrepresenting the war’s true origins and its actual course; the myth of the Lost Cause distorts our national memory. In The Myth of the Lost Cause and Civil War History; nine historians describe and analyze the Lost Cause; identifying ways in which it falsifies history―creating a volume that makes a significant contribution to Civil War historiography.

This memoir is an incredible read and presents an amazing life story of an eloquent and powerful woman living in Russia during political upheaval. Well worth the price and time!0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. eye openingBy Seanits an awesome book; especially for medical antropologist; which is the course this was required for.Its eye opening and has a lot of golden lines that open up your perspective to being more reflexive. This is a MUST for any in-field research regarding this particular area or AIDS in general (would be an awesome tool for asian cultures because u get a full array of experience from another continent; especially where the problem started)
