"Part of Regnery Publishing's hugely popular "Politically Incorrect Guide" series, The Politically Incorrect Guide™ to the Civil War  is a joyful myth-busting rebel yell that shatters today's Leftist and demeaning stereotypes about the South and the Civil War -- and shows why, in the words of G. K. Chesterton, "America and the whole world is crying out for the spirit of the Old South."

Here, H.W. Crocker III profiles eminent -- and colorful -- military generals including the noble Lee, the controversial Sherman, the indefatigable Grant, the legendary Stonewall Jackson, and the notorious Nathan Bedford Forrest. He also includes thought-provoking chapters such as "The Civil War in Sixteen Battles You Should Know" and the most devastatingly politically incorrect chapter of all, "What if the South Had Won."

Along the way, he reveals a huge number of little-known truths, including why Robert E. Lee had a higher regard for African-Americans than Lincoln did; how, if there had been no Civil War, the South would have abolished slavery peaceably (as every other country in the Western Hemisphere did in the Nineteenth century); and how the Confederate States of America might have helped the Allies win World War I sooner.

What today's PC professors refuse to teach about the Civil War:

    * Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee: Why they believed, and sincerely hoped, that slavery would fade away naturally

    * The widespread belief among leading Northern abolitionists that the Constitution was "a covenant with death and an agreement with hell"

    * The Emancipation Proclamation: It didn't free a single slave -- and caused draft riots in the North

    * How the Federals waged a war against Southern civilians -- destroying their crops, their cities, and their homes

    * The real Robert E. Lee: He considered slavery a political and moral evil and opposed secession -- and after the war, a New York newspaper thought he should run for president!

    * Nathan Bedford Forrest: though allegedly a commander of the Ku Klux Klan, he wanted more free blacks -- and Chinese -- in the South

    * How both Grant and Lincoln thought the Mexican War was morally wrong, but had no qualms waging a far bloodier war to deny the South its independence

    * Stonewall Jackson: a Unionist, even, initially, after the election of Abraham Lincoln -- and founder of a Sunday school for slaves where he taught them how to read

    * The Confederacy: an evil empire? How Thomas Jefferson's grandson died fighting for the Confederacy -- and even the author of the "Star-Spangled Banner," Francis Scott Key, lined up with the South

    * Governor Fidel Castro? Why Cuba would probably be a state in the Union if the South had won the war

This is the Politically Incorrect Guide that every Civil War buff and Southern partisan -- and everyone who is tired of liberal self-hatred that vilifies America's greatest heroes -- will have to have on his bookshelf."

Don't understand; it works for me.
Could be that it needs the "cookies" that came with the email.
I will try to provide some other info:

I too am getting a "problems loading page" notice.  Wonder if Firefox has a problem with it.  

ADDED: I did google it, and read a bunch of reviews.  Two things stand out - just about ever review has somewhere in it a phrase like "written with a southern bias."  I guess that is opposed to a northern bias. 

Judging from the bits and pieces quoted, it seems as if the author, as the Kennedy Bros. is intentionally polemic, sometimes a bit outrageous, in order to make people think and examine their views and what they "know to be true."

The real answer is to scour garage sales, used book stores, etc., etc., etc.; for books written before the "Great Revision" [1960s].
The older it is, the less biased it will be.
