Atlas
of the Civil War: A Complete Guide to
the Tactics and Terrain of Battle
Stephen Hyslop
Outstanding collection of maps related to the Civil War battles. Also, great photographs, good text and descriptions and narrative. Really helped understanding what happened in each battle, amazingly lucid descriptions of the tactics and battles. Invaluable accompaniment to any reading of Civil War history. Really useful.

Battle Cry of Freedom, The Civil War Era
James M. McPherson
Well-written, thorough, especially for a single volume, account of the American “Civil War Era,” as the subtitle states. Many details about political party internal struggles and voter demographics, and financial foundations for the war, all necessary, but tedious. Excellent detail and analysis of most battles, and all of the important ones, amazingly lucid descriptions of the tactics and movements. Disappointing, truncated ending and epilogue which deals with nothing is a haze of unanswered questions. Overall, very valuable.
