The CryptoHistory of the Civil War (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798876658647)

The study of history is presented as a mighty, imposing edifice, carved in stone. But what if the accepted historical narratives are imperfect, flawed or downright fabrications? It is the job of Crypto Historians to weed out the false rumors and speculations to see if there is something truthful in the attacks on accepted history. To do so they must challenge propaganda, national and racial pride as well as academic orthodoxy. This work has as its focus the grim and terrible Civil War that raged between 1861 and 1865 and took the lives of 700,000 Americans. This work is divided into controversial questions to determine the pros and cons of each inquiry. These questions may disturb some but history isn't set in concrete and needs to be reexamined from time to time. In such a way the truth may well come out, or rumors and lies exposed and dismissed.
