Description
“Timely . . . A valuable work that combines biography, history and travelogue. . . . Horwitz is a
smooth writer and an even better reporter (hardly surprising, given that he won a Pulitzer Prize for
reporting at The Wall Street Journal), and he recounts his travels with insight interspersed with
humor, as well as with an intermittent raising of the eyebrows at numerous oddities and occasional
evils.― —The New York Times Book Review“In Horwitzâ€s writing, past and present
collide and march together on almost every page, prying our minds open with the absurdity, hilarity
and humanity we encounter. Olmsted spent nine months traveling 4,000 miles and then wrote
hundreds of pages about it; Horwitz spent two years revisiting his paths, his ideas and his psyche,
capturing the story in 414 pages of sparkling prose.― —David Blight, The Washington Post
“A compelling report on the state of our present disunion.― —Wall Street Journal
 “I've been waiting for Tony Horwitz to write another big on-the-road book that crisscrosses
the American cultural divide . . . Spying on the South is every bit as enlightening and alive with
detail, absurdity and colorful characters as Confederates in the Attic was.― —NPR
'He was the rare historian—the only historian I can think of—equally at home in the archive and
in an interview, a dedicated scholar, a devoted journalist.' —Jill Lepore, The New Yorker
“Horwitzâ€s excellence as a writer and reporter unearths forgotten chapters of history while
making fascinating present-day discoveries.― —The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
“Horwitz is an amiable narrator who marries a journalistâ€s knack for scene-setting and
chatting folks up with the ability to tell a good historical tale.― —BookPage“A tour is only as
good as its guide, and Horwitz is a seasoned one—inquisitive, open-minded, and opting for
observation over judgment, whether at a dive bar, monster truck rally, the Creation Museum, or a
historical plantation. The book will appeal to fans of travelogue, Civil War–era history, and
current events by way of Southern sensibilities.― —Booklist  “Horwitz brings humor,
curiosity, and care to capturing the voices of the larger-than-life characters he encounters. A huge
canvas of intricate details, this thoughtful and observant work delicately navigates the long shadow
of Americaâ€s history.― —Publishers Weekly, starred review “With the keen eye and
deft pen that he's long brought to telling the odd and wonderful and fascinating story of
America, Tony Horwitz has returned to familiar territory—the South—to give us a unique piece of
reportage from a region that tells us a whole lot more about the country than the country
sometimes wants to admit. Like his classic Confederates in the Attic, this book will be read,Â

remembered, and treasured.― —Jon Meacham, Pulitzer-Prize-winning historian and author
of The Soul of America
