This look at the Confederate experience of soldiers; African Americans; and women sparked a debate about the reasons for southern defeat when it was first published in 1944. It challenges southern myths about a contented and loyal slave population; and questions popular morale.

I found that the writing style was easy for me to read; and I wasn't as bored as when I was in class. Some of the things in them don't agree with current ideas; but in a way that makes them charming.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Read all but oneBy Jimm BuddOver the past several decades I have been reading these books by the Durants. That indicates how much I enjoy them. Now there is just one more volume. Scares me. Will it the the last book I ever read?0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Book lives up to promiseBy Douglas H AndersonBook lives up to promise
