Why it’s on the list: The last year of the Civil War — Grant against Lee, Sherman’s march, the 1864 election, the collapse — narrated at close range.
Where I saw it: A reply to @typesfast’s question on X, June 5, 2025 — “What’s the best history book you’ve read?” — recovered from that thread and saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Books To Read”. Thread: https://x.com/typesfast/status/1930617097068912787
