I inquired about the book LOOK AWAY but was told it won't be available for sale until next year.

"Look Away: History of the Confederate States of America" by William C. Davis was published a few months ago. It should be available at any good bookstore as well as through Amazon.com.

I should warn you that it may not be what you hoped. Shuckmaster featured it prominimently in his website for about two weeks. Then someone who read it must have told him that it was a truthful look at the confederacy and it hasn't been seen there since.

It's available in stores today, but the author is quick to point out the Confederate Government's flaws - I can accept some of it. He shows some interesting things like most of the Southern politicians were moderates, a few fire-eaters decided the fate of many.

I'm about 1/4 of the way thru - it's an interesting account of the formation of the Confederate government, some good, some bad.
