Hi please help.

Why should he notice his car in particular?

He is a historian who studies warfare, and the American civil war in particular.

What's " in particular" in this sentence

Answer

Well you seem to understand the meaning of "in particular", but if I had to rewrite the statement in a simpler way, I would write: "He is a historian who studies warfare and he mainly focuses on the American civil war"
In other words, that historian is specialized in the American civil war warfare.

I hope that helps.
