Stonewall
Jackson : The Man, the Soldier, the Legend, by James Robertson.
From
Manassas to Appomattox, by James Longstreet. Confederate General James
Longstreet's turn-of-the-century memoirs were published many years into a
divisive debate surrounding his performance at Gettysburg. While the General
was innocent of the charges, the many years of rancorous arguing had taken its
toll and the memoirs themselves are very defensive in tone.
Lee's
Tarnished Lieutenant : James Longstreet and His Place in Southern
History, by William Garrett Piston. Reconstructing the military career of
one of the Confederacy's best corps commanders, this book reveals how
Longstreet became, in the years after Lee's death, the scapegoat for the
South's defeat.

S. Grant: Triumph Over Adversity, 1822-1865, by Brooks D. Simpson.
Finally, a balanced account of the life and military career of this most
important Union officer. Mr. Simpson's first installment of a two part series
is a meticulously researched and revealing work, which helps to clear away a
great deal of inaccurate hearsay and rumor which, amazingly, has circulated for
over a century. Readers can also read General Grant's account of the war in his
own words in his on-line memoirs here at WTJ.
Cush
: A Civil War Journal, by Samuel Sprott. A finely written soldier's eye
view of the American Civil War, from the perspective of a Captain in the 40th
Alabama Regiment. Excellent eyewitness account which has been cross-referenced
