"In this stunning and well-researched book, Kevin Levin catches the new waves of the study of memory, black soldiers, and the darker underside of the Civil War as well as anyone has... Levin is both superb scholar and public historian, showing us a piece of the real war that does now get into the books, as well as into site interpretation."

David Blight, Author of Race and Reunion

Aw, Kevin, you shouldn't have….really. But they certainly nailed it.

Ask and you shall receive. Somehow they managed to sit through the entire movie. More power to them. They certainly nailed it.

Is it just me or did Ebert completely change his outlook from one review to the other? It seems he adopted Siskel's criticism from “Gettysburg” to apply to “G&G.”
