I&#8217;m back with another book review. This time, it&#8217;s for Curiosities of the Civil War by Webb Garrison. In this book, Mr. Garrison covers a variety of topics pertaining to the Civil War.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I have to say that this is not a history book in the way that most people think of history books. It&#8217;s more of what I would call an anecdote book. The book is divided into 9 different sections. Each section focuses on a different topic and each section is then divided into 2-4 paragraphs focusing on an individual person, event or subject. &nbsp;Since it&#8217;s laid out this way, you can choose to read for 5 minutes or for 5 hours.<\/p>\n<p>I found the topics interesting and it&#8217;s an easy read. You would have to actually have an interest in history though to find this book interesting. It&#8217;s not a general reader. All in all, it&#8217;s a pretty good book and for history buffs, it&#8217;s one you might want to add to your shelf.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><i>Disclosure: I received a copy of this book as a Book Sneeze book reviewer.
