Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause
by Ty Seidule, US Army Brigadier General (retired) and former head of the history department at West Point
St. Martin's Press (2021)
Anyone read this, or planning to?
It seems to be selling well for a ACW-related book. The usual suspects are decrying it as revisionist history, cancel culture, etc. but nevertheless it currently has a 4.3 out of 5 on Amazon.
I wonder though whether it actually has anything interesting for Civil War buffs, or if we're not really in the target audience because it's covering issues and arguments we've already heard and debated ad naseum.
