Very interesting book
Mr. Webb lays to rest a lot of "revisionist" history with this book. Too bad it is not required reading in high school and college curriculum. People would better understand the corruption in government that we have had for 150 years.

the fighters win
a very personalized history of the Socts/Irish migration to the new world and their influence upon the American way of life. Webb speaks from the Southern perspective and from his experiences in battle and in Congress.
