I can see why it’s so highly rated on many lists. A different, and difficult read. This author has quite the vocabulary! Big insight into Stonewall, and Sherman, but especially Sherman. I had no preconceived ideas about the man except for the given March to the Sea, but this book really gives a great look into the man himself, and Stonewall as well. A great read. Not easy, but well worth it.

I picked it up last year and could not believe how excellently written his letters were and the light they threw on the inner turmoil of the Army of the Potomac and the battles they fought in.

I pretty much agree with what Mike Peters wrote except for his inclusion of GWTW. As flawed as it is, for some of us, the perils of Scarlett O’Hara was our introduction to the CW. I couldn’t finish “Last Full Measure” and was disappointed to see that Francis Donaldson’s fantastic “Inside the Army of the Potomac” didn’t make the cut. As for “Confederates In The Attic,” I’ve already shared my feelings on THAT book and nothing has happened to change my mind so I won’t repeat myself. I agree with the poster who said Mark Bradley’s book on Bentonville and Chris Fonvielle’s book on the Wilmington Campaign should have been included.

Regards,
Teej

I was thinking that it reminded me quite a bit of the Civil War Interactive poll. No Wonder, because it was the Civil War Interactive Poll.
Thanks for pointing that out,

Actually this isn’t a new list at all. It’s a reprint of the list we did on our site back in 2008. The list is at: http://www.civilwarinteractive.com/Top50Results2008v1.htm

As for how we compiled it, we asked every reader to send their top 3 Civil War books in order. We then gave 3 pts. to their first choice, 2 to their second and 1 to their third. We then added all ponts together and ranked the results. The scoring system probably has flaws, but it was just for the enjoyment of our readers.

For what it’s worth, trust me there were plenty of books I wouldn’t have ranked in the top 500 let alone the top 50, and there were even more that would make my top 10 that didn’t make the list at all.

Some of the titles are more vague than others, so perhaps there are some in there that I simply haven’t heard of? I would love to see someone acknowledge Price’s campaign in 1864, or even classic works by historians like Dudley Cornish, who includes quite a bit of information on Kansas and Missouri in his _The Sable Arm_.

I’m in general agreement with the titles mentioned that don’t belong on the list and there are a few others that would have made my personal list, but that’s the nature of lists like this. Great that you guys are included!
