2.The American Civil War: A Military HistoryThe American Civil War: A Military History
from Knopf
Price: $16.72

Customer Review:
The title would not usually catch one's eye, but the author's name(which stands out more than the title on the cover), who is an imminent historian of WW1 and WW11, does. Most of the book is the usual chronological development of the War, except with a noticible European flair. There are many... more info

3.The Hemingses of Monticello: An American FamilyThe Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family
from W.W. Norton & Co.
Price: $11.78

Customer Review:
Although the author belabors some points, as though she is facing a jury, I have found this book to give me a much clearer understanding of what life in slavery was like. It has also helped me better grasp why it was not abolished earlier.
It is also fascinating as a history of the Hemmingses,... more info

4.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: $20.99

Customer Review:

This is probably the best one volume civil war history there is. I'm giving it one star only so that this review appears alongside some of the genuine one star reviews. As far as I can tell, pretty much all the people who don't like the book object to its political position: it isn't... more info

5.U. S. Grant: American Hero, American Myth (Civil War America)U. S. Grant: American Hero, American Myth (Civil War America)
from The University of North Carolina Press
Price: $18.81

Customer Review:
While this book covers how such a popular general and President lost his popularity through the years of time I fear that many people know neither that he was a General nor even the President of the United States. This book is not so much a study of his life, his military career or his presidency,... more info

7.The Killer AngelsThe Killer Angels
from Ballantine Books
Price: $7.23

Customer Review:
Recently, I read another great War novel, the Louise Maude translation of Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace". THAT was the greatest book I've ever read. This one is also a sensational read--and I'm not one who is usually into war. Shaara's device of picking a few main characters and following them around... more info

8.Personal Memoirs (Penguin Classics)Personal Memoirs (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $3.14

Customer Review:
Ulysses S. Grant was a humble man, and his book is extremely honest. Readers will be hard-pressed to find one word of embellishment or bragging. While there are many fascinating sections to this book, Grant's explanation of the Fugitive Slave act as the trigger of the war (they made the Northerners... more info

9.Led By Faith: Rising from the Ashes of the Rwandan GenocideLed By Faith: Rising from the Ashes of the Rwandan Genocide
from Hay House
Price: $8.72

Customer Review:
Immaculee Ilibagiza's story is a testimony to the power and importance of faith and to the ability to change the world through forgiveness and prayer. Her first book, Left to Tell, was at once awful and great. The story of man's inhumanity to man was almost too difficult to read - yet, it was... more info

10.This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War (Vintage Civil War Library)This Republic of Suffering: Death and the American Civil War (Vintage Civil War Library)
from Vintage
Price: $8.00

Customer Review:
After reading "This Republic of Suffering" I was still struggling with what the central thesis to the book was. Every chapter contains excellent primary source information about the death and the industry that arose because of the enormous casualties of the war, but how does it tie in together? Of... more info
