About the Book

More than 60,000 books have been published on the Civil War. Most Americans, though, get their ideas about the war--why it was fought, what was won, what was lost--from movies, television, and other popular media. Renowned Civil War historian Gary Gallagher guides readers through the stories told in recent film and art, showing how they have both reflected and influenced the political, social, and racial currents of their times. Too often these popular portrayals overlook many of the very ideas that motivated the generation that fought the war. The most influential perspective for the Civil War generation, says Gallagher, is almost entirely absent from the Civil War stories being told today.

Review :
"An absolutely superb, thought-provoking analysis of the Civil War in American popular culture. Gallagher offers a masterful and sure-footed account of how film and art have presented the war."--George C. Rable, author of "Fredericksburg! Fredericksburg!" "Gallagher provides an elegant and penetrating analysis of the ways in which artists and Hollywood film writers have shaped our changing perceptions of the Civil War and its legacy. Readers will be intrigued by his explanations of why the Lost Cause image continues to prevail in one medium while it has disappeared from the other."--James M. McPherson, author of "This Mighty Scourge: Perspectives on the Civil War" "Gary Gallagher dissects art and cinema with a historian's eye and the heart of a 14-year-old watching "Shenandoah" three times in a row. In crisp and compelling prose, he shows that winners don't always write the history. More than 140 years after Appomattox, the cause of the Union is still missing in action on the screen and canvas. This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the power of popular culture to shape memory of the past."--Tony Horwitz, author of "Confederates in the Attic"
