This is a probing book about the hold of the past, experienced largely as heritage and memory and not as historical understanding, on a whole region and people. Goldfield treats the Lost Cause with unblinking directness. . . . its main strength: the stress on the weight of memory and its enduring links to white supremacy. David W. Blight, Southern Cultures
Drawing on a wide range of sources as well as contemporary reporting, this deftly written historical analysis takes on a difficult topic with passion, sensitivity, and integrity. Publishers Weekly
