    I don't see any reason at all to be critical of McPherson's list. The “Dean” of Civil War studies for many, many years. I was mostly impressed by the number of books he mentioned outside of the Civil War niche. He's someone we should admire as historians, even if we don't agree with every jot and tiddle of his writings.
