Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Battle Cry of Freedom by James M. McPherson. Recommended by 1 sources.
“James M. McPherson delivers a fast-paced, single-volume narrative that moves between politics, society, and combat to produce a connected chronology and a clear interpretive stance. The useful payoff is a coherent timeline that helps you see cause-and-effect across campaigns, policy shifts, and public opinion. The main limitation is emphasis and compression: long battle sections can feel dense, and selective choices about which episodes receive space will frustrate readers who want exhaustive local detail or a heavily annotated, apparatus-driven history.”
