Polls
American Civil War - Military Series Selection
Recently, the History Book Club conducted a Military Series Poll. The reason that we did this was because we are launching a Military Series of book discussions similar to how we conduct the Presidential Series at the HBC.
The American Civil War received the most votes from the group membership. Therefore, the first Military Series discussion will focus on the American Civil War.
Therefore we are now voting for the first Military Series selection from books which were all nominated by group members. Killer Angels was already completed by the group so that book was not added to the list for voting purposes. Just as an FYI: this poll took me forever to put together because there were so many group member suggestions and recommendations. We wanted to make sure that we included "all of them". That is why this poll is so long.
So take your time and make sure to vote; because if a book does not get at least one vote; it will be relegated to the bottom of the list. The book which garners the most votes and comes out on top will be discussed beginning in February 2012. Bryan Craig will be the Assisting Moderator leading this book discussion.
Choose and vote for one book. Vote as soon as possible because the first book will be launched in February. Don't lose out.
Note:
If you do not see your favorite book about the American Civil War on this list; then just comment or pop me a note and I will immediately add it to this poll.
You can always change your vote at any time; so nothing is lost. There are some books which have been nominated by the same author; however, skip over those if the particular author does not suit you and vote for your favorite or for one you or others might want to read.
Before making your selection, please try to look up your choice and make sure it really is a book you are interested in or you think others would be; do not be lured in by the title. Also, check out the author and what others have said about the book before you (reviewers who you trust). Then of course, make your selection.
And if you do not see your favorite, just contact me and I will add it to the poll.
Regards,
Bentley

Jeff Shaara - This book was just recommended by a group member. It is the third book in a trilogy which began with the bestseller Killer Angels. In the same vein, this is an historical novel/fiction account - not non fiction but if anything like Killer Angels -- impeccably done.The Last Full Measure
by
Martin Dugard - This is not related to the Civil War but to the time earlier in history when they fought together as brothers in the Mexican War.
The Training Ground: Grant, Lee, Sherman, and Davis in the Mexican War, 1846-1848
by
Gordon C. Rhea - This book was just recommended by a group member.The Battle Of The Wilderness, May 5-6, 1864
by Rod Gragg - This is another latecomer nominated by a group member.Covered With Glory: The 26th North Carolina Infantry at Gettysburg
