The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War

Get ready for a rousing rebel yell as best-selling author H. W. Crocker III charges through bunkers and battlefields in The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Civil War. Crocker busts myths and shatters stereotypes as he profiles eminent and colorful military generals, revealing little-known truths, like why Robert E. Lee had a higher regard for African-Americans than Lincoln did. Crocker culminates his tome in the most politically incorrect chapter of all: "What If the South Had Won." This is the "P.I." Guide that every Civil War buff and Southern partisan will want on their bookshelf, in their classroom, and under their Christmas tree.©2008 H. W. Crocker III (P)2008 Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Accurate history lesson for all Americans

This book is no doubt the most accurate and eye opening accounting of the war between the states that I have seen. All Americans, or anyone for that matter, should listen to this and understand what really happened during those years, and since. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to know the truth about the Civil War and how the South is today.

More than slightly biased

Overall, this book gives a very good picture of the Civil War. That being said, this work is terminally slanted to the southern cause. The 'Books Yankess Dont Want You to Read' segments are entertaining even if purposefully provocative. Calling Gone With the Wind 'historically accurate' is absolute lunacy. You would be hard pressed to find a more inaccurate and idealized book on life in the antebellum south. Lee is practically worshiped as semi-divine and the author sounds like he is slobbering over Lee rather than simply pointing out his virtues. This book could have been much better if it was not pushing the lost cause narrative from beginning to end.

Factual statement are made here and are correct.

As this was a free Audio book I took a chance and listened at least 15 minutes with chuckles.
it is well done with a convincing argument.
Listen to it to get what maybe was the argument of the day.

A breath of fresh air on a topic that is all too often misrepresented by shallow, race-baiting, ideologues.

I liked that it wasn’t just another virtue signaling piece of trash that most authors produce today, especially pertaining to topics like the Civil War.

The American Civil War Made Simple

Contrary to the title's suggestion, there's very little in this title than I would rank as Politically Incorrect. I would however recommend this audiobook unreservedly to anyone with even a passing interest in America's Civil War. The book is well written, divided neatly between battles and personalities and well read.
