A valuable work that combines biography, history and travelogue. . . . Horwitz is asmooth writer and an even better reporter (hardly surprising, given that he won a Pulitzer Prize forreporting atÂ The Wall Street Journal), and he recounts his travels with insight interspersed withhumor, as well as with an intermittent raising of the eyebrows at numerous oddities and occasionalevils.â€• â€”The New York Times Book Reviewâ€œIn Horwitzâ€s writing, past and presentcollide and march together on almost every page, prying our minds open with the absurdity, hilarityand humanity we encounter. Olmsted spent nine months traveling 4,000 miles and then wrotehundreds 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.â€• â€”David Blight,Â The Washington Postâ€œA compelling report on the state of our present disunion.â€• â€”Wall Street JournalÂ â€œI've been waiting for Tony Horwitz to write another big on-the-road book that crisscrossesthe American cultural divide . . .Â Spying on the SouthÂ is every bit as enlightening and alive withdetail, absurdity and colorful characters asÂ Confederates in the AtticÂ was.â€• â€”NPR'He was the rare historianâ€”the only historian I can think ofâ€”equally at home in the archive andin an interview, a dedicated scholar, a devoted journalist.'Â â€”Jill Lepore, The New Yorkerâ€œHorwitzâ€s excellence as a writer and reporter unearths forgotten chapters of history whilemaking fascinating present-day discoveries.â€• â€”The Atlanta Journal-Constitutionâ€œHorwitz is an amiable narrator who marries a journalistâ€s knack for scene-setting andchatting folks up with the ability to tell a good historical tale.â€• â€”BookPageâ€œA tour is only asgood as its guide, and Horwitz is a seasoned oneâ€”inquisitive, open-minded, and opting forobservation over judgment, whether at a dive bar, monster truck rally, the Creation Museum, or ahistorical plantation. The book will appeal to fans of travelogue, Civil Warâ€“era history, andcurrent events by way of Southern sensibilities.â€• â€”Booklist Â â€œHorwitz brings humor,curiosity, and care to capturing the voices of the larger-than-life characters he encounters. A hugecanvas of intricate details, this thoughtful and observant work delicately navigates the long shadowof Americaâ€s history.â€• â€”Publishers Weekly, starred review â€œWith the keen eye anddeft pen that he's long brought to telling the odd and wonderful andÂ fascinatingÂ story ofAmerica, Tony Horwitz has returned to familiar territoryâ€”the Southâ€”to give us a unique piece ofreportage from a region that tells us a whole lot more about the country than the countrysometimes wants to admit. Like his classic Confederates in the Attic, this book will be read,Â
Page 4: remembered, and treasured.â€•
