Agreed, Sears is very good. I really like his other Civil War books ("The Landscape Turned Red, the Battle of Antietam" and "Chancellorsville" are excellent), but they aren't available in ebook yet. For Civil War books in ebook format, there is the abridged version of Lee's Lieutenants, the classic by Freeman is very good. I prefer the unabridged version, but it's not out in ebook. Foote's "The Civil War" is also excellent, a classic is available in the unabridged 3 volume set.

There is a ton of literature on the Civil War, unfortunately most isn't available in ebook format. One can hope. Interestingly, a lot of the original source material is now in public domain and thus is available.
