A review of John M. Coski, The Confederate Battle Flag: America’s Most Embattled Emblem. (Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2005).

 John M. Coski received his Ph.D. in history at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia in 1987. He was a historian at the Museum of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia from 1988 until it merged with the American Civil War Center in Richmond in 2013 to form the American Civil War Museum. Thereafter, he was a historian at the American Civil War Museum until his recent retirement. The reviewer heard him speak as a member of a panel of speakers on Confederate monuments at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the National Council on Public History in Baltimore, Maryland. His was the only voice of scholarship and reason on that panel. All of its other members parroted the “woke” propaganda line.:snip:
