The South 20th Century and Beyond: 50 Essential Books

"Reading this is like going to a bookstore with a wonderfully informed, witty old friend..."

THE FOURTH AND FINAL INSTALLMENT of Dr. Clyde N. Wilson'sSOUTHERN READER'S GUIDESdistills more than a half century of scholarship into identifying and describing 50 essential books on the topic of the 20th Century South and Beyond. Dr. Wilson, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of History of the University of South Carolina, was editor of the highly-praised Papers of John C. Calhoun and is the author or editor of more than 20 other books, and over 700 articles, essays, and reviews in a variety of books and journals, scholarly and popular. He is considered by many to be the greatest living historian of the South. If you want to understand the Modern South without wasting your time on 3rd string authors and the p.c. infected pseudo-history coming out of the modern academy, there is no greater guide than Dr. Wilson.
