Has anyone read any of the Great campaign series of books on the civil war? They are my favorite books on civil war because they give detail about not just tactical level, but operational level as well ,focusing on supplies,traffic jams, lost orders,delays, river crossings,reinforcements,landscape as much as actual battles. It gives a great perspective to entire theater of operations.
Some that I have read so far are
The Peninsula Campaign [ really makes a boring part of war exciting]

Jackson's Valley Campaign

There are dozens of books in the series from bull run to Appomattox my next will be shiloh.
