I concur about Johnson, certainly. Freeman’s _Lee’s Lieutenants_ is perhaps the classic military treatment. For a Lee biography, also see Freeman. For Grant, I like Simpson. For the C.S. Constitution, DeRosa. For Confederate political culture, Rable. For Confederate women, Faust. Again, there’s a book on basically any sub-topic you can think of.
