He's a Southern boy and his bias shows, but he's not a Lost Causer and the books are definitely readable.

Battle Cry of Freedom by James M. McPherson (good one volume overall history covering all aspects)

- Anything by James M. McPherson.
- Anything by Bruce Catton.
- A Fateful Lightning by Allen C. Guelzo.
- Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Mostly centered on Abraham Lincoln and his Cabinet, but an amazing read.
