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

5.0

The reporting is outstanding and very well organized. I learned a lot more about the Civil War than I'd ever learned in school. Reading this book 16 years after its initial publication was illuminating too. I don't know why the book cover emphasizes how funny the stories are supposed to be. Many of the observations were profoundly depressing. Overall I learned quite a bit for better or worse.
