Not much on reconstruction. I think Eric Foner has a bunch of stuff out there but he is a flaming liberal and, like Zinn, hardly anything is cited so I don't put much stock in it.

Hans Trefousse wrote a very good biography of Andrew Johnson that details his battles with Sumner, Stevens and the Radicals over reconstruction.
Something that explores a bit of the end of reconstruction is Roy Morris, Jr.'s book "Fraud of the Century" about the Hayes-Tilden election.
