Fanstastic Civil War Book

This book on the Battle of the Wilderness, is one of the top two Civil War books I have ever read (Cozzen's Book on Chickamauga "This Terrible Sound" being the other). The maps are detailed but crystal clear, and allow you to totally follow the troop movements described in the book. Steere's writing similarly is detailed but exciting and clear. I've read this book over the years at least five times, and it's time to read it again! More detailed than Rhea's book on the same subject, by the way. Rhea's book is good too, but this one is much better for the hard-core Civil War reader.
