I am finishing up a couple books that I will review over break. One is Earl Hess's The Rifled Musket in Civil War Combat, published by Kansas. The other review will be on John Keegan's The American Civil War: A Military History. In addition, I will be reading Recent Themes in Military History: Historians in Conversation. I meant to bring John Grenier's latest book, but forgot it in the rush to pack and finish work. Bill,
