Bought this to have on the bookshelf in case cancel culture removed it from circulation or led to a 'revised' edition removing the bits deemed unacceptable to modern sensitivities. The content gives a superb insight into how middle and upper middle class US Southerners viewed the antebellum and post Civil War eras during the pre-WWII years in the American Deep South and recounts historical fact albeit in a somewhat romanticised way. A hardcover copy would have been preferable (at an eye-watering price, however) but this affordable paperback copy retains the unedited text and so is a good purchase.

a classic that I should already have read - found the war information from the perspective of families involved far more interesting that I would have found a book just on the American Civil War a very good book - would be interested to find similar
Years ago I saw the film and now reading the book as refreshed my memory of the story. When I have finished reading I will pass it on to another interested friend.
