Hello,

i would suggest reading "The American Civil War" by John Keegan. Its a good, detailed and easy readable book :)

My favorite by far has to be Those Damned Back Hats by Lance J. Herdegen...Also I have enjoyed just about everything by Shelby Foote.
Also I would recommend Battle Cry Of Freedom by James M. McPherson

The Civil War by Bruce Catton is good as well.

If you want a good study of command of the confederacy, I highly recommend "Lee's Lieutenants" by Douglas Southall Freeman. A very good 3 volume work.

stillness on the appomattox by Bruce Catton is probably the best book ive read on the American Civil War.
