Update: Thanks again everyone. Sold a total of 10 copies on the first day.
You can now purchase my book, Remembering the Battle of the Crater: War as Murder, directly from me for the low price of $25 plus $3.00 shipping. Just click the “Buy Now” button below and you will be taken to my PayPal site. Please use the Contact Form if you would like a signature and inscription. The University Press of Kentucky prices the book at $35 plus shipping and handling, so I hope that this discounted price for a signed first edition makes the purchase more appealing. This is what I sell the book for at talks, workshops, etc.
“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. That horrible day at the Crater in Petersburg, its brutal racial facts and legacies, all tangled in the weeds of Confederate Lost Cause lore, have never been exposed like this. 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 W. Blight, author of Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory

I bought two copies and the second was even better than the first.
Thanks Pat. You can read Pat’s review of the book here: http://patyoungcarecen2.wordpress.com/2013/01/14/remembering-the-battle-of-the-crater-war-as-murder-by-kevin-levin/
Pat Young is doing a great job promoting your book. His shot from “Immigrants” is running on my personal F/B page. Go Kevin!

I’ve sold four books via PayPal since this post went live this morning. Should have done this sooner.
Still spinning on Bummer’s Amazon and Pat’s Shot on Personal F/B is still current, if the “old guy” is lucky one of the kid’s will buy another copy.
Keep on Pushin!

So I can pick any inscription I want?
Of course. Thanks so much for your interest. There is a place on the order form where you can indicate what you would like inscribed.
