"An extremely good writer, [Ayers] is well worth reading . . . on the South and Southern history."—Stephen Sears, Boston Globe
The Southern past has proven to be fertile ground for great works of history. Peculiarities of tragic proportions—a system of slavery flourishing in a land of freedom, secession and Civil War tearing at a federal Union, deep poverty persisting in a nation of fast-paced development—have fed the imaginations of some of our most accomplished historians.
Foremost in their ranks today is Edward L. Ayers, author of the award-winning and ongoing study of the Civil War in the heart of America, the Valley of the Shadow Project. In wide-ranging essays on the Civil War, the New South, and the twentieth-century South, Ayers turns over the rich soil of Southern life to explore the sources of the nation's and his own history. The title essay, original here, distills his vast research and offers a fresh perspective on the nation's central historical event.

What Caused the Civil War?: Reflections on the South and Southern History
Coincidently, this is the second consecutive book I have read where the subtitle is more accurate about the book's contents than the title. Despite the Confederate soldier on the cover, this book actually has very little to do with the Civil War itself. The essays are the author's thoughts and experiences with Southern history. It argues the South is much more complex than widely believed and typically portrayed, and the Civil War's causes are likewise complicated. But the book is too light to feel like it gets anywhere or strongly argues it's point. That's a problem I've noticed with short books (about 200 pages or less) - they simply aren't long enough to go into any real depth.
