1.The Myth of the Lost Cause and Civil War HistoryThe Myth of the Lost Cause and Civil War History
from Indiana University Press
Price: $14.96

Customer Review:
I was most interested in the generalship of Grant versus the actual (not glorified) generalship of Lee. I was hoping to find some confirmation of my suspicion that Lee really wasn't that great and Grant really wasn't all that bad. To some degree, the book tries to do this with a limited success. It... more info

3.Lee and His Generals in War and MemoryLee and His Generals in War and Memory
from Louisiana State University Press
Price: $14.93

Customer Review:
A collection of essays by Gary Gallagher (not an anthology like many of the other books with his name on them) mostly about Lee, his generals, and Lee's image during and after the war.
Gallagher writes with clear, sensible precision, tending to rationally examine evidence and the arguments of... more info

from University Press of Kansas
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
Every kid, especially black kids should read this book. They will learn what true struggle is, what teamwork is, what overcoming prejudice and hatred look like.

5.Why the South Lost the Civil WarWhy the South Lost the Civil War
from University of Georgia Press
Price: $18.96

Customer Review:
If you are looking for an entertaining book on the American Civil War - this isn't it. The book is very wordy and at times difficult reading. I am saying this as someone who has read hundreds of books on this important era in American history.
However, this book explains in detail many of the... more info

6.These Honored Dead: How the Story of Gettysburg Shaped American MemoryThese Honored Dead: How the Story of Gettysburg Shaped American Memory
from Da Capo Press

Customer Review:
Prospective readers should not approach this book simply as a history of the Battle of Gettysburg, although the book can be recommended to any student of the Battle. For the book goes beyond history; it is more a work of metahistory or historiography. Its themes are the evanescence and corrosive... more info

from The University of North Carolina Press
Price: $28.30

Customer Review:
"Pickett's Charge In History And Memory" begins with the question as to why this charge, of all the charges of the Civil War, has captured and held the imagination of a nation for over 140 years. This is not the book in which to find the history of the battle of July 3, 1863. This book... more info

9.The New York City Draft Riots: Their Significance for American Society and Politics in the Age of the Civil WarThe New York City Draft Riots: Their Significance for American Society and Politics in the Age of the Civil War
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $27.00

Customer Review:
This is a fine, insightful study of the New York "Draft" Riots, which were about far more than military conscription. It does have some problems of organization and repetition, as others note. Overly harsh critics probably assume that this is a conventional, event-oriented tale of the riots... more info

10.Lincoln and the First Shot (Critical Periods of History)Lincoln and the First Shot (Critical Periods of History)
from Waveland Press
Price: $15.50

Customer Review:
A great breakdown of events leading up to Ft. Sumter, and a great analysis of the early relationship between Lincoln and his cabinet, esp. Secretary of state Seward (who at this early date mistakenly thought Lincoln was a puppet he could manipulate). All in all a fascinating read and a must for good... more info
