   What is the best memoir of the Civil War?

(Confederate artillerist Porter Alexander’s memoir would be a close second.) 2. Lincoln. I am a huge fan of Eric Foner’s The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery (2010).

   Is the Civil War a 'civil war' book?

   • It’s not ordinarily classified as a “Civil War” book, but maybe that’s because we have not paid close enough attention to the ordeal of those who became free in that era. Morrison’s novel offers an enormously powerful meditation on the haunting memories of slavery that lingered long after its destruction.
