Summary: A Fire-Eater Remembers: The Confederate Memoir of Robert Bar
Comment: I found Rhett's writings to be ironically similar in style to those of his nemesis, Jefferson Davis: rigid, self-righteous, and self-important. This book does, however, provide valuable insights into workings of the mind of a radical secessionist. The modern reader will frequently take issue with Rhett's ideas, but seeing how Rhett thought is useful in itself. William C. Davis does his usual excellent job of illuminating the text with insightful endnotes. The only flaw I found in the book is that the endnotes probably should be footnotes because they are so helpful in understanding Rhett's writings as well as Rhett's historical context. Leaving the notes in the back makes them less convenient and useful to the reader. Overall, I recommend this to the student of the secession crisis.
