I've been reading a lot from the U.S. Army's recommended reading list. The books are great so far -- whoever compiled this list has done a great job. I can recommend these books to anyone.

I never "got" Battle Cry of Freedom. I found it tedious, lacking in theme or analysis, and weighed down in irrelevant detail. Instead, I heartily recommend the 8-volume series by Allan Nevins, "The Ordeal of the Union/War of the Union."

Bookmarked the military book list site. Thank you so much for posting it. b
