Rebel Yell: The Violence, Passion, and Redemption of Stonewall Jackson
From the author of the prize-winning New York Times bestseller Empire of the Summer Moon comes a thrilling account. of how Civil War general Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. became a great and tragic American hero. It traces Jackson’s brilliant twenty-four-month career in the Civil War, the period that encompasses his rise from obscurity to fame and legend; his stunning effect on the course of the war itself; and his tragic death, which caused both North and South to grieve the loss of a remarkable American hero. "In Rebel Yell , Mr. Gwynne's easy, loping style wraps itself effortlessly around the particulars of Stonewall Jackson's life, from his back-of-the-mountain upbringing to the outburst of military genius in the Civil War. "In the magnificent Rebel Yell , one of the year's best biographies, writer S.C. Gwynne brings Jackson ferociously to life... His battle scenes are marvels of description and kinetic action. [He] brings a deep humanity to his portrayals of Jackson, his fellow Confederate generals and their Union adversaries... Gwynne's pages fly by, brimming with excitement and terror." “Gwynne stirringly recreates the bloody, error-plagued battles of the early war and argues that Jackson’s legend galvanized the South, outmanned and outgunned, to keep fighting.” ( New Yorker ). "A worthy book that does much to present the general in a realistic, critical and evenhanded manner.... Gwynne writes with style... he creates vivid word pictures and descriptions that keep the reader engaged.
Reviews
"In terms of the quality of the descriptive writing, the structure and skilful use of language, and the depth Gwynne brings to the characters of Jackson and his comrades and friends, the book stands not just as an outstanding biography but as a very fine piece of literary writing. As Jackson and his force of cadets set out to war, Gwynne tells us of his pre-war life as a rather strange and awkward man, deeply religious, suffering from poor health and perhaps a degree of hypochondria. This is very much a biography of Jackson and a history of his military campaigns, rather than a history of the Civil War itself. As we follow Jackson through his campaigns, Gwynne, with the assistance of clear and well-placed maps, brings the terrain to life, vividly contrasting the beauty of the country with the brutality and horrors of the battlefields. From the beginnings of the creation of the Jackson legend in the Shenandoah Valley campaign, then on through the series of battles where he snatched victory from what should have been certain defeat, till his final stunning achievements as the right-hand man of General Robert E Lee, Gwynne shows the growing admiration and even love of his troops for this man whose total belief in the rightness of his cause and God's protection led him to take extraordinary risks. We see the other side of Jackson - the family man, grieving for the death of his first young wife and then finding happiness with his second, Anna."
"His life was far different then the picture of him in my mind before reading the book."
"However my husband loves it and sits with maps as he reads it so he can know exactly what they are talking about."
"This is a fairly easy read that has all the essential details in it--e.g., Jackson's last words, how he got his nickname, examples of his religious devotion and his warfare abilities."
"I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book."
"The author repeatedly describes his big feet, awkward gait, poor social skills, eccentric nature and surprising private giddiness that betrays his public persona."
"My only criticism of this book is that Mr. Gwynne can really get bogged down in the minuate of troop movement and battle plans that make a 400 page book a 600 page book, but that is only a minor issue."
"Any student of the Civil War or US military history should read this book."

Grant
His business ventures had ended dismally, and despite distinguished service in the Mexican War he ended up resigning from the army in disgrace amid recurring accusations of drunkenness. More important, he sought freedom and justice for black Americans, working to crush the Ku Klux Klan and earning the admiration of Frederick Douglass, who called him “the vigilant, firm, impartial, and wise protector of my race.” After his presidency, he was again brought low by a dashing young swindler on Wall Street, only to resuscitate his image by working with Mark Twain to publish his memoirs, which are recognized as a masterpiece of the genre. “This is a good time for Ron Chernow’s fine biography of Ulysses S. Grant to appear… As history, it is remarkable, full of fascinating details sure to make it interesting both to those with the most cursory knowledge of Grant’s life and to those who have read his memoirs or any of several previous biographies… For all its scholarly and literary strengths, this book’s greatest service is to remind us of Grant’s significant achievements at the end of the war and after, which have too long been overlooked and are too important today to be left in the dark… As Americans continue the struggle to defend justice and equality in our tumultuous and divisive era, we need to know what Grant did when our country’s very existence hung in the balance. Just as he did with George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, Chernow brings Ulysses S. Grant to life. Grant now lands in the middle, thanks to his extraordinarily progressive work on race relations….Ron Chernow’s 1,100-page biography may crown Grant’s restoration….Mr. Chernow argues persuasively that Grant has been badly misunderstood.”— The Economist “Chernow writes definitive biography of Ulysses S. Grant… [An] essential read… restores Grant to the pantheon of great Americans.”— Newsday “A landmark work….Chernow impressively examines Grant’s sensitivities and complexities and helps us to better understand an underappreciated man and underrated president who served his country extraordinarily well…. “Full of personal and professional insights into a president and military leader that readers will find simultaneously flawed, relatable, and inspiring.” — Money Magazine “Reading Ron Chernow's new biography, a truly mammoth examination of the life of Ulysses S. Grant, one is struck by the humanity - both the pitiful frailty and the incredible strength - of its subject.”— Philadelphia Inquirer. “Masterful and often poignant .… Chernow's gracefully written biography, which promises to be the definitive work on Grant for years to come, is fully equal to the man's remarkable story.”— Minneapolis Star Tribune “Reading this compelling book, it’s hard to imagine that we’ll continue to define Grant by these scandals rather than all he accomplished in winning the war and doing his best to make peace, on inclusive terms that would be fair to all.” — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Chernow’s biography is replete with fascinating details and insight­ful political analysis, a combination that brings Grant and his time to life….
Reviews
"Chernow does away with rumor, gossip, mystery, and myth to give us Grant the boy, the youth, the young lieutenant, the general, the president, the seer, and finally the greatest American memoir writer of the 19th Century."
"Chernow reminds us of the personal connections of the generals of both the North and South- Grant attended West Point and fought in the Mexican War alongside William T. Sherman, Robert E Lee, and a veritable who's who of later Civil War leaders. While Lincoln is remembered in American history as the President who ended slavery, readers of Grant will see that President U.S. Grant should be remembered as a tireless proponent of civil rights and militant enemy of the Ku Klux Klan. Chernow doesn't turn away from Grant's failures in civilian life: his poverty before rejoining the army for the Civil War, his constant struggle with alcoholism, or Grant's repeated mistakes in trusting the wrong people in matters of finance- and occasionally in government."
"I have always been a history buff, having read most of Mr Chernow’s previous books and many more, but this book changed my mind on a number of issues and convinced me that I had not given Mr Grant the acclaim he is due. The appropriate analogy, I believe,is that if Mr Lincoln was the engineer driving the ship of state during the war, Mr Grant was certainly the train plugging through and getting the work done."

Best Civil War Campaigns & Battlefields History

Civil War Volumes 1-3 Box Set
Foote's comprehensive history of the Civil War includes three compelling volumes: Fort Sumter to Perryville, Fredericksburg to Meridian, and Red River to Appomattox. "Anyone who wants to relive the Civil War, as thousands of Americans apparently do, will go through this volume with pleasure.... Years from now, Foote's monumental narrative most likely will continue to be read and remembered as a classic of its kind." "I have never read a better, more vivid, more understandable account of the savage battling between Grant's and Lee's armies.... Foote stays with the human strife and suffering, and unlike most Southern commentators, he does not take sides. “Here, for a certainty, is one of the great historical narratives of our century, a unique and brilliant achievement, one that must be firmly placed in the ranks of the masters.”—Van Allen Bradley, Chicago Daily News “A stunning book full of color, life, character and a new atmosphere of the Civil War, and at the same time a narrative of unflagging power. Years from now, Foote’s monumental narrative most likely will continue to be read and remembered as a classic of its kind.”— New York Herald Tribune Book Review “To read this great narrative is to love the nation—to love it through the living knowledge of its mortal division. Whitman, who ultimately knew and loved the bravery and frailty of the soldiers, observed that the real Civil War would never be written and perhaps should not be.
Reviews

Best History eBooks of Women in the American Civil War

Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy: Four Women Undercover in the Civil War
With a cast of real-life characters including Walt Whitman, Nathaniel Hawthorne, General Stonewall Jackson, detective Allan Pinkerton, Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln, and Emperor Napoleon III, Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy draws you into the war as these daring women lived it. I hadn’t given much thought to the Civil War until one summer day in 2002, when I found myself stuck in traffic on Route 400 outside of Atlanta, idling for hours behind a pickup truck emblazoned with a bumper sticker: DON’T BLAME ME—I VOTED FOR JEFF DAVIS. As a native Philadelphian newly transplanted to the Deep South, I was struck by the idea that Civil War personalities and politics lived on, in ways both frivolous and sincere, nearly a century and a half after the last body was buried and the final sacrifice made. In Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy I tell the stories of four such women: a rebellious teenager with a dangerous temper; a Canadian expat on the run from her past; a widowed mother with nothing left to lose; and a wealthy society matron who endured death threats for years, and lost as much as she won. It is no small task for a writer to wade into the well-swum waters of the American Civil War and emerge with a book that manages to enhance the existing canon while holding the attention of casual readers and history buffs alike. “Not for nothing has Abbott been called a ‘pioneer of sizzle history.’ Here she creates a gripping page-turner that moves at a breathtaking clip through the dramatic events of the Civil War.” ( Los Angeles Times ). “Engrossing… Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy is conscientiously researched and smoothly written and structured.” ( Wall Street Journal ). “Eloquent… A riveting psychological inquiry and probing examination of the courage, incomparable patriotism, stamina, and agility of four women who repeatedly risked their lives to serve their citizenry... Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy [feels] like an operatic espionage novel, where deception, betrayal, love, and redemption are interspersed with gripping combat scenes and perilous rescues.” ( Los Angeles Review of Books ). “Compelling... Karen Abbott stitches together a patchwork narrative as complex as a pieced quilt, combining the colorful, unrelated tales of four women who fought in the Civil War as surely as Lee and Grant… [her] high achievement lies in her Augean compilation of published and archival material.” ( Washington Times ).
Reviews
"Even looking back on this horror one can’t say how it happened."
"First 3 chapters kept my interest and took a break from the after the 5th, I was almost through the book."
"Although especially good for women to acquaint themselves with strong women playing important roles, addition facts and the viewpoints of both Northern and Southern people are provoking."
"Very interesting and absorbing."
"Lovely, fun book intertwining the lives during the Civil War of four women - on opposite sides."
"So glad to have read this fine book!!!"
"Quality historical research; continual shifts from one character's story to another kept it interesting."
"Some of Johnston’s troops, in blue uniforms, caused some Union regiments to hold their fire making a contribution to them breaking. She has men playing ball with severed heads, cutting off noses, ears and testicles for souvenirs. She fails to admit that no respected Civil War author accepts these stories as fact. In stating them as fact, she is either a poor historian or dishonest, in either case I do not want to waste my time reading this book."

Reviews
"Because the narrative fluctuates among the four women, sometimes I lost tract of who was who since several of the women were similar even thought they were on different sides of the conflict.I considered whether the author could have handled the stories differently and I decided her method was best and she tracked them as the war progressed rather than covering their stores separately."
"An excellent book about four women who devoted themselves to helping out their countries (North & South) during the Civil War."
"We felt Ms. Abbott brought each of the women to life, and we felt we better understood the role of women in the Civil War."

Best U.S. Civil War Regimental Histories

Lincoln's Lieutenants: The High Command of the Army of the Potomac
From the best-selling author of Gettysburg, a multilayered group biography of the commanders who led the Army of the Potomac The high command of the Army of the Potomac was a changeable, often dysfunctional band of brothers, going through the fires of war under seven commanding generals in three years, until Grant came east in 1864. “A masterful synthesis...a narrative about amazing courage and astonishing gutlessness…It explains why Union movements worked and, more often, didn't work in clear-eyed explanatory prose that's vivid and direct.”. — Chicago Tribune “A monumental group biography…reminds us that the outcome of the war was not a foregone conclusion.”. — The Wall Street Journal “Massive, elegant study...a staggering work of research by a masterly historian.” — Kirkus, ST ARRED.
Reviews
"My first Civil War books read --- many years ago --- were Catton's trilogy on the Army of the Potomac (AotP). Enter Stephen Sears, who has written several excellent campaign histories of the CW Eastern Theater (Antietam, Peninsula, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg) as well as much about General McClellan, Besides being very, very old at this point, Sears has also covered a lot of background details about the AotP in his other books. This sort of material is usually the background to campaign studies, but here Sears inverts the usual approach and the campaigns are instead background to the institutional history. This may sound dull, but it is not, as Sears is graceful and highly skilled writer, and his campaigns and battles material is well done and, of course, occurs frequently enough to make things interesting. More significantly, Sears makes the info on the generals seem fascinating - between flamboyant characters like Sickles and Kearny, intriguing failures like Sigel and Heintzelman, and McC's cadre of sycophants like Porter and Franklin, Sears has an eye for telling detail and interesting (well-documented!). Sears (and many other writers) does this sort of thing in the battle and campaign books. First, I assume most persons reading a 900 page history on the AotP are probably pretty familiar with the CW, and so can probably follow along on the maps from memory, or can dig out other books and use those as references. For new CW readers, I will say only that this is a fine book for anyone with an interest in the subject as long as they have a reasonable familiarity with the overall subject of the Civil War in the East."
"My guess is that LINCOLN'S LIEUTENANTS is as close to an overall history of the Civil War as we are likely to get from Sears (he now is 84). As an overall history of the Civil War, LINCOLN'S LIEUTENANTS is told through the prism of the Army of the Potomac (which started out as the Army of Northeastern Virginia). The focus of the book is on the Army's generals -- from the commanding generals (MacDowell, McClellan, Burnside, Hooker, Meade, and Grant) to the underlings who led the various corps and brigades -- and how they performed, both in battle and as a member of a military organization. The special slant of Sears's book is that he does not consider the performance of the high command solely in military terms. Rather, Sears expands his inquiry to consider the civilian and political factors that influenced the conduct of the generals of the Army of the Potomac, as personified by President Lincoln, the Cabinet (especially the Secretary of War), the Congress, and the press. Sears provides detailed accounts of the many battles and campaigns waged by the Army of the Potomac, including First and Second Bull Run, the Peninsula Campaign, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness and Spotsylvania, Cold Harbor, and the siege of Petersburg. But for someone who already has a good understanding of the War and the major battles fought by the Army of the Potomac, it is a very rewarding book."
"This book was well written and catalogues the chronicles of Lincoln's generals as the title states."
"A quality read that keeps the reader engaged throughout the book."
"Excellent look at the Commanders and Politicians of the Union High Command and Army of the Potomac."
"If Sears is to be believed, and I suspect he should be, the amazing level of incompetence repeatedly displayed by the Army of the Potomac's senior officers was not only excused by Washington, it was abetted for reasons that were plausible and (depressingly) necessary."
"Outstanding writing and a most valuable addition to the prolific literature on the American Civil War."
"Sears is a great historian, but after 400 pages of George McClellan, I just had enough."

Best U.S. Abolition of Slavery History

The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism
A sweeping, authoritative history of the expansion of slavery in America, showing how forced migrations radically altered the nation's economic, political, and cultural landscape. As historian Edward E. Baptist reveals in The Half Has Never Been Told , the expansion of slavery in the first eight decades after American independence drove the evolution and modernization of the United States. "Wonderful.... Baptist provides meticulous, extensive, and comprehensive evidence that capitalism and the wealth it created was absolutely dependent on the forced labor of Africans and African-Americans, downplaying culturalist arguments for Western prosperity. "By far the finest account of the deep interplay of the slave trade...and the development of the U.S. "Baptist has a knack for explaining complex financial matters in lucid prose.... "Baptist's real achievement is to ground these financial abstractions in the lives of ordinary people. Above all, Baptist sets out to show how America's rise to power is inextricable from the suffering of black slaves.
Reviews
"He details how slavery, by use of torture and terrorism, increased productivity and made the cotton industry the biggest, most sustained, expansion of the economy in human history. He makes the point that it wasn't just a Southern industry; indeed it benefitted the entire world -- from Northern banks, ship builders and industries that supported slavery (farm implements, whips, ropes, chains, etc) to the textile mills of Western Europe, especially Britain. He also adds powerful voice to the millions of men, women and children who suffered under the bondage of slavery."
"I read heavily on the subject of slavery and found this to be the best treatment to date that I have found to address the connection between slavery and America's rise to become a 20th century superpower."
"Fascinating read that brought a different, deeper understanding of our country’s history and contradictions."
"Such a great read."
"Revelatory; an added dimension to the story of slavery and pure America's ongoing racism in context."
"Eye opening read on the deep history of slavery that fueled the capitalistic foundation of this country."
"This book should be read by every American and taught in all high schools and colleges."
"Well written and informative."
