7) "This Republic of Suffering" by Drew Gilpin Faust - this is one of my favorite works of historical writing. Faust writes a history of the concept of Death through America's collective trauma of its Civil War. It is accessible and shows the totality of change that arose from that conflict. Might be a nice book to pair with "Confederates in the Attic" by Tony Horowitz.
