Civil War in 3D: The Life and Death of the Soldier
The picturesque volume is a must for history buffs, and the nice enclosure of the stereographic viewer adds visual appeal.
PREMIUM
GI Brides: The War-Time Girls Who Crossed the Atlantic for Love
While serious scholars might prefer Jenel Virden's well-documented and more analytical Good-Bye, Piccadilly: British War Brides in America, most readers will find this chronicle an entertaining vehicle for learning about the British GI brides' experiences.
PREMIUM
The New-York Historical Society's New York City in 3D: The Gilded Age
More focused than the similar but more comprehensive New York 400: A Visual History of America's Greatest City with Images from the Museum of the City of New York, this volume will appeal to both fans of historical and modern times.
PREMIUM
The Scarlet Sisters: Sex, Suffrage, and Scandal in the Gilded Age
This engaging and very accessible study, based on considerable primary and secondary research, is recommended to all readers looking to study Victoria Woodhull in the context of her partnerships with her sister and their broader lives together and apart.
PREMIUM
Lincoln's Boys: John Hay, John Nicolay, and the War for Lincoln's Image
A history as much of the evolution of Lincoln's image as of the lives and writings of "Lincoln's boys," this will appeal to historians and popular readers alike.
PREMIUM
The New York Times: Disunion; Modern Historians Revisit and Reconsider the Civil War from Lincoln's Election to the Emancipation Proclamation
The result is a lively anthology that documents the state of today's scholarship and popular opinion on the war. It is quite different from other new anthologies such as America's War: Talking About the Civil War and Emancipation on Their 150th Anniversaries, edited by Edward L. Ayers, which includes longer selections of older materials (including fiction) dating from 1852 to the present. This is recommended for most Civil War history collections.
PREMIUM
All the Great Prizes: The Life of John Hay, from Lincoln to Roosevelt
Worthy as the most comprehensive biography of Hay to date, and the first in over 50 years, this is recommended to American history and biography readers on its own and as a companion to Michael Burlingame's At Lincoln's Side: John Hay's Civil War Correspondence and Selected Writings. [See Prepub Alert, 12/1/12.]
PREMIUM
Alice Paul: Equality for Women
This concise book includes reprinted primary sources, study questions, and extensive notes and bibliography, and is perfect for college students. It is a valuable addition to the "Lives of American Women" series, and is recommended for all collections on the subject and as well as for relevant high school or college courses.

This is a well-researched and comprehensive study—much broader in scope than, e.g., Edward H. Bonekemper's Ulysses S. Grant: A Victor, Not a Butcher: The Military Genius of the Man Who Won the Civil War—as well as an engaging book. Essential for both popular readers and scholars. [See Prepub Alert, 4/16/12.]
