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.

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."

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.

Political correctness aside, historical fiction

I rather enjoyed the slant offered by the author for his take on history. Regardless of your political affiliation, this was a fun read as a work of fiction. It is a fiction nonetheless.

Finally a story of truth!

This was such a good book to listen to compared to Union washed stories written by tyrant that will always change to true story. A must if you’re a Civil War history buff.

If the South had won

Speculation is just speculation. I will say that legally, yah the south had the right to leave. And it would be much easier to see it from the southern perspective if they had abolished slavery before the war. If there wasn’t so many horror stories of the maltreatment of slaves and of course, the pursuit and persistence of racism abs white supremacy after the war.

Thought provoking

If you prefer to question a narrative and want something that provokes the mind to think hard and contemplate, then this is for you! I have, so far, not found a more interesting mental painting of the war between the states than this. So much is left out of modern text and ignored by modern popular opinion, it seems to make the leaving out of so much content in other texts a sin. Worthy read!
