Abstract
What a good idea. Editors Catherine Clinton and Jim Downs along with the University of Georgia Press have established a series that will publish books bringing historians’ insights to bear on issues of contemporary importance. And what a good topic with which to inaugurate the series, the current debate raging over Confederate statues and memorialization.
The resulting book has three distinct parts. First, it presents a roundtable discussion among five historians who are experts on the memory of the Civil War—Clinton, W. Fitzhugh Brundage, Karen L. Cox, Gary W. Gallagher, and Nell Irvin Painter. Second, it reprints what editor Clinton admits are unscientific choices of the “Top Ten Articles” (71) on Confederate memorialization.
