Awesome collection of essays about the Civil War. All of them have different takes on why the South lost, from political to military, and all of them are pretty interesting. Most of them are pretty short, and it's a good read if you're into military history.
Favorite Essay: God and the Strongest Battalions

Battle Cry of Freedom
"Battle Cry of Freedom" by James McPherson is an overview of the Civil War. The book starts before the beginning of the war and details/looks into both sides of the war, Confederate and Union, as well the different areas of life the war affected.
This book is awesome if you're into war stories or American history. Don't try to read it to kids, they'll be bored out of their minds. It's definitely a read for adults, as it's not exactly in story form and doesn't follow one specific person through the war.
