seereeves 's review for:
The beginning of the book was interesting, entertaining and a little frightening (considering the views of some of the modern-day people he met). However the "Civil Wargasm" chapter in the middles was long and tedious and I almost lost interest in the book entirely. The last third of the book was ok, similar to the first third, but tempered with fewer frightening people.
Through out the book Tony kept referring to his own obsession with the war and claiming he was seeking a reason why he so liked the war. However, he didn't really appear to be searching. This personal obsession with the war felt like it was just continually dropped in, that the author felt that the book needed some sort of personal, emotional attachment, that the story of his research and journey itself could not carry the book. Personally, I felt like the personal "search" didn't connect with the rest of the book and could have been left out, especially since he didn't really come up with an answer, just a sappy, emotional way to end the book.
