War for the Union: The Organized War to Victory 1864-65 is the 4th of 4 volumes on the Civil War by Allan Nevins, with each volume covering one year of the war. These works do not concentrate on the military campaigns and individual battles of the war but rather all of the support activities that allowed the Union to win the war, to include politics, commerce (industrial capacity, agriculture, transportation assets, etc.) foreign relations, popular support, and overall strategy for victory. Battles and campaigns and the overall progress of the war are certainly mentioned as victories and losses on the battlefield were in essence the ultimate measure of success. This volume, like the other 3, is a magnificent and readable look at all aspects of the 4 year civil war. Highly recommended for even those with a modest interest in that era of United States history. ( Amazon customer)

In this meticulously researched study of Franklin's life down to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, David Freeman Hawke has drawn on the best from the flood of recent scholarly work to present the man in all his complexity. Hawke seeks to present sides of Franklin seldom emphasized in previous works: the visionary, the politician, the electrical experimenter. Throughout the book he constantly poses a single question: What manner of man was Franklin? In the end, he leaves it up to the reader to judge for himself.
