1.Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era (Oxford History of the United States)Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era (Oxford History of the United States)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $13.57

Customer Review:
In my humble opinion, Battle Cry of Freedom is one of the best one-volume histories of the Civil War. All aspects are covered: military, political, social, economic, etc.
The narrative flows smoothly, is easy and interesting to read without being overly dry or bogged down into too much detail,... more info

2.For Cause and Comrades: Why Men Fought in the Civil WarFor Cause and Comrades: Why Men Fought in the Civil War
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
This book is mainly for academics and true historians. It's a short book, which makes it a quick read, but it's not as good as some of McPherson's other Civil War books. (like "Ordeal by Fire"). His thesis is that Civil War soldiers, both Union and Confederate, fought for three different reasons (or... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA

Customer Review:
I've read a lot of books on the Civil War. So, I didn't know what to expect from this book, but recognized that James McPherson is probably the best historian on this period. The result was this book provides new insight on the war with interesting and highly readable chapters on Lincoln, Grant and... more info

from McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages
Price: $76.27

Customer Review:
I bought the abridged version here instead of the two - volume set. This book was great! The chapters were fairly short and McPherson's writing style is easy to read. It was an "optional" book for a course I took in college and I'm glad I bought it. It focuses on the social and political aspects of... more info

5.Abraham Lincoln and the Second American RevolutionAbraham Lincoln and the Second American Revolution
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
This well-argued collection of James McPherson's occasional pieces focuses primarily on what the author sees as the fundamental changes that the Civil War brought to America's polity, economics, culture, and self-identity. The first, second, third, and seventh of the essays deal especially with this... more info

6.To the Best of My AbilityTo the Best of My Ability
from DK ADULT
Price: $13.60

Customer Review:
Even though the introduction states the summaries of each president is mostly in a positive light, the chapter on George W. Bush is very negative. The author sounds like a bitter Gore supporter. It was written by a liberal and people like Bill Clinton got super treatment from friends. Oh well.. the... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
I saw the picture for the 1997 version (green and black)as I needed it for school, so naturally I ordered it. To my severe dissappointment I received the 1996 version with a burgundy and blue cover. This is frustrating when you think your getting something your not.

9.The American Journey, Student EditionThe American Journey, Student Edition
from Glencoe/McGraw-Hill
Price: $95.32

Customer Review:
My son uses it in 8th grade, and being a historian myself I checked the book out. The foreign policy part would have needed an editor with background knowledge. Especially galling was p. 754 in which the Stalinist regime in the Soviet Union gets dispatched in 3 (!) sentences, (while Hitler gets... more info
