His 3-book history of the Civil War is a must-read for anybody serious about history.

Not only was he an excellent writer, he was a gifted orator. That's not a very common thing.

I have two copies of his three-part history (one for reading, one for the bookshelf), and the MP3 version, which I believe runs about 160 hours.

Certainly my favorite Civil War historian.

I couldn't agree more.

Agreed. I've read the entire series twice and it's the best example of narrative history I have ever read. May he rest in peace.
