I've never been able to locate a book devoted to the subject. There are lots of books that mention the breakup, but most offer few details.

Some of the best works on the subject are Shelby Foote's classic Civil War series and James McPherson's also classic Battle Cry of Freedom. Grant's autobiography delves into the subject a bit as do books like Lee's Lieutenants and South of Appomattox. There is information to be found in numerous biographies and autobiographies, but since these works focus on a specific individual, they are often skewed in their objectivity.

Do you think the South may have eventually won if they had fought a guerrilla war rather than one using traditional methods?
