...or Shelby Foote’s brilliant treatise, The Civil War.

I actually just started reading this-my father was a huge buff, and he probably knew more about this conflict than all of his American history professors combined.

Right now I'm reading about the Battle of Fort Donelson.

Foote has an amazing way of conjuring these epochal events.
