Confederates in the Attic: Dispatches from the Unfinished Civil War by Tony Horwitz

2.0

I haven't read a lot of non-fiction history books in my day. I recognize that this a fault in my reading habits. But it is difficult to read a deep novel when you have a young child who seems to need almost constant attention. As a reader I struggled with the dense text. I was left feeling there was no strong story arc. I found this book dull and didn't really care for the way it was organized. I would much rather read a book that flows clearly and draws me in deeply.

I think my next attempt at a historical book will be Unbroken or 1776. Do you have a recommendation?
