About this title: This study of how both the North and the South--in different ways--came to view the war between the states covers several decades of political and social change. The author shows a gulf between the issues and feelings that brought about the conflict and the self-serving myths that were eventually constructed by each side. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.

"Great book that actually treats the HISTORY (remembrance that's contested) of the Civil War. Blight writes well and covers an incredibly important topic -- how Blacks became near-invisible in the 50 years following Appomattox. Stunning and upsetting reading."
"very interesting book about Civil War aftermath where the topics in title are competing for ascendancy in American Culture/consciousness
excellent book about how memory and who/what group/moverment creates the prevalent memory of some period of history/event controls whether the actual history is recalled accurately"
"A great 'memory' history book. You can basically follow the post-Civil War counter-revolution blow by blow. Like other books on the subject, it can make one sick with anger. You also grasp just how small the anti-southern reconciliation faction was. Poor Judge Tourgee!"
