I suppose if I was going to accidentally hit the one-click button and buy a non-fic book while scrolling through today's Kindle deals, this was the right one for me since this time period has been my recent obsession. Hopefully it won't be a waste of two bucks!

I‘ll say it up front — this book is going to be uninteresting to a lot of people. It‘s a biography and exploration of the life of a doctor in the American Civil War. It‘s essentially a book at an intersection of history and medical science. However, if you happen to be a weirdo like me who likes that niche of a niche, it‘s fascinating.
