Confederates in the Attic (1998) is a work of non-fiction by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tony Horwitz.

Among the experiences Horwitz has in the book: When published, Confederates in the Attic became a bestseller in the United States.

The New York Times described it as intellectually honest and humorous, saying Horwitz seemed uncomfortable placed between two sides, seeking peace between the factions.

In response, in 1998 the Southern Legal Resource Center sued Horwitz on Martin's behalf, with encouragement from the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
