"To be sure, Coulter's historical efforts can be highly amateurish.

Her writings on the Civil War—she calls Confederate soldiers "a romantic army of legend"—could only be penned by a (Northern) dilettante. And although she has admiringly cited the work of cold war historian Ronald Radosh, he says she misinterpreted that period in Treason. "There were Soviet spies in postwar America," he says."

I don't understand these criticism at all. Aren't their millions of people in the North and South that consider the Army of Northern Virginia "a romantic army of legend?" Now as a union man I like the way the war turned out, but to imply that serious Southern historians never hold Robert E Lee's army in high regard is plain wrong.

And as for the second criticism, it seems to imply that Ann wrote that there were no Soviet spies in postwar America. A charge I find exceedingly hard to believe.
