Brian Cisco is a great South Carolina patriot. He takes on many tasks important to our future and performs them tirelessly. His “War Crimes” is unmatched in its vivid account of the wanton destruction visited on southerners by Union forces in the name of “saving the Union.” What did they save it for? For power and wealth at our expense. And it still goes on. You will learn things in “War Crimes” that all Southerners should know and never forget.

A lifelong Civil War historian will be bringing his latest work to The Book Stall later this month for a book signing.
Orangeburgs Walter Brian Cisco, author of “War Crimes Against Southern Civilians,” will be at the Hayne Avenue bookstore from noon to 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 25.
Cisco is a U.S. Army veteran of the Vietnam War and a recipient of the Army Commendation Medal. He also served as a captain of the South Carolina State Guard.
His long-held interest in the Civil War has led to his writing career. He is the author of 1991s “States Rights Gist: A South Carolina General of the Civil War,” which was named a selection of the History Book Club in 1992; “Taking A Stand: Portraits from the Southern Secession Movement,” released in hardcover in 1998 and in a paperback edition in 2000; 2004s “Henry Timrod: A Biography” on the Souths leading wartime poet; and “Wade Hampton: Confederate Warrior, Conservative Statesman,” released in hardback in late 2004 and paperback in early 2006. “Wade Hampton” was also a History Book Club selection and is considered the comprehensive Hampton biography.
