Jews in the Civil War

All Other Nights by Dara Horn
Rating: 4 stars (out of 5)
Genre: historical fiction
Review: Horn is not subtle about making a point about the irony of Jews in the Confederacy during the Civil War. One of the opening scenes is of a Passover seder celebrating the liberation of Jews from bondage in Egypt being served by black slaves. And although I certainly know more now than I did before about Jews in the Civil War, what I really took from this book was just a good, well-told story.

FTC Disclaimer: I recieved this book from the publisher in exchange for this review.
