"The Civil War: An Illustrated History" by Geoffrey C. Ward is outstanding. It's the book companion to Ken Burns PBS documentary from several years ago. It isn't a page turner, but it is an incredibly comprehensive text with some amazing drawings and photos.

thanks for the recommendations.
I'm reading Killer Angels. Seeing Little and Big Roundtops is more meaningful.
