Unabridged Audiobook
*This Review Contains Spoilers* Details abound from all the players involved with the Post Civil War reconstruction. The details overshadowed the explanation of why these things happened. Or at least that's how it came across to me. The racial atrocities, horrific as they were, we're not really expanded upon as I thought they were going to be, based on the book's subtitle. Yes it was after Lincoln, but why the north lost the peace seemed to be a concerted combined effort of the north and the south. The last chapter about the Jim Crow laws spanned 100 years in about 30 minutes. Left me wanting more of the why and less of the who.
Informative and interesting book....well worth the time and costs. . Brings worthwhile relevance to current events and racial issues.
