Reviews for Henry Hotze, Confederate Propagandist: Selected on Revolution, Recognition, and Race
This volume represents a valuable contribution to Civil War scholarship. The author's introduction and notes will draw greater attention to one of the period's more intriguing figures and will suggest Hotze's status as the most cosmopolitan advocate of the Confederate cause in Europe. - Robert E. Bonner, author of Colors and Blood: Flag Passions of the Confederate South
