“Kevin Levin is an expert historian focused on the Civil War, a personal favorite part of history. He connects current affairs with past events. He also kindly corrected me once a few years ago. ”

“A leading Civil War scholar explains how the memory of the causes and memory of the conflict still resonate in our politics today. ”

“I’ve followed Kevin from platform to platform, beginning with Ta Nehisi Coates’s amazing blog on the Atlantic. Kevin is one of the finest historians I know. He’s also a teacher at heart and a helluva writer.”
