from Viking Adult
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
Fun to read a pissant writing about a man with such integrity. Taking some letters, scrutinize them carefully, add preconceived ideas and a few tea leaves, and viola, pissant can give a portrait of Robert E. Lee.

from Penguin Classics
Price: $13.60

Customer Review:
There's the example of Julius Caesar, of course. And in America, there was Ulysses Grant, whose orders and dispatches were so concise and unequivocal that they were credited by his subordinates for many of his victories. Grant's Memoirs are widely recognized as a classic of autobiography, as much... more info

from Stan Clark Military Books
Price: $16.50

Customer Review:
This book, written by Civil War hero Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, is an interesting first person look at his experiences in the war.

from The University of North Carolina Press
Price: $24.50

Customer Review:
The world owes a great debt of gratitude to Gary W. Gallagher for his efforts in producing this book. Even though I would consider myself a "Private" in the ranks of civil war buffs, I have read dozens of memoirs by Civil War era men and women. None of them moved me the way this book has. At heart,... more info

Customer Review:
I read this book in less than 3 weeks! It was great, and for those who don't know the Civil War it's even better because you don't know what's about to happen. I really liked it, and you should check it out.

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
The book is great and Lauren Cook Burgess does a superb job of compiling and explaining this book. However, she does appear to be entirely unfamiliar with gender identity issues and makes no distinctions between Wakeman and his truly female counterparts. I would never see Wakeman as a woman and it... more info
