Have you read James McPherson's Battle Cry of Freedom? Definitely the best book on the (American) Civil War that I have read.

Yes, I have. It's certainly a classic and a good read. I can't really say that there is any one book that I consider the "best". Shelby Foote's Civil War books (4 in all) give the best overview from the Southern point of view. McPherson's books tended more towards the Union point of view.
