Lit and Life reviewed A Separate Country by Robert Hicks for the U.S. Civil War Reading Challenge 2011. Here’s an excerpt:
Hood was bitter and conflicted about what he had done in his years in the army and deeply disappointed with the legacy that he had left. He spent much of the rest of his life writing a book attempting to set the record straight. On his death bed, however, he tells Griffin that he wants that book destroyed and a more recent accounting of his life published.
