Query: Best Civil War Book in One Volume!

Fascinating and smooth reading narrative of the civil war era. Treatment of the war beyond the battlefield sets this book apart from other civil war accounts. McPherson discusses causes, politics (both domestic and international), economics, personalities, geography and business issues as well as delving deep into the military aspects of the conflict. It really gives the reader a thorough understanding of the war's desperate causes. Excellent read -- makes you want to pick it up and read it again!
