Will you guys suggest a good Civil War book?

I'm about a 1/4th of the way through Civil War: An Illustrated History. I could do without the sojourns into essaydom, but I suppose it breaks things up. I think it disrupts the flow and it's redundant. I may skip the rest and come back to them later.
I'd complain if they hung me with a new rope, though.
So far it's been an excellent read, and exactly what I was looking for.
