Any recommendations for books on the American "Civil War"?

Politically Incorrect Guide to American History

Sounds corny but I learnt a lot.

The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution is good too

There's a fictional book by a man (Harold Frederic) who lived during the American Civil War called "The Copperhead" that, as one reviewer noted, has "…Lincoln portrayed (in the North) as a despot, abolitionists as bloodthirsty war-mongers and those against the war as peace-seeking, conservative, constitution-loving good citizens…". It was made into a movie by Ronald F. Maxwell (The guy who made "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals"), which is quite.

I haven't read the book, but I would look for anything guys like R.F. Maxwell used as inspiration for his Civil War films to get a good picture of the other side of things. Doesn't matter that "The Copperhead" is fiction, it's still a genuine point of view from the side that's having its monuments torn down in this shit-swirled culture of today.
