• The "Immortal Six Hundred" and the Failure of the Civil War POW Exchange Process by John Schmutz.
• A Union Tested: The Civil War Letters of Cimbaline and Henry Fike ed. by Jeremy Neely.
• In the Thickest of the Fray: Mississippians At Gettysburg ─ In Their Own Words by Owen & Ashton.
Comments: The Schmutz title is already in general release and available for purchase. I've been tracking this stuff online for twenty years now and can't recall a December this bare. I hope the Oct-Nov stragglers that I've been wanting/expecting arrive very soon so they can considered for the year-end list. I am very curious to find out how the first half of 2025 will play out. Hopefully, 2024 was just the bottom of a curve.
1 - These monthly release lists are not meant to be exhaustive compilations of non-fiction releases. They do not include reprints that are not significantly revised/expanded, special editions not distributed to reviewers, children's books, and digital-only titles. Works that only tangentially address the war years are also generally excluded. Inevitably, one or more titles on this list will get a rescheduled release (and they do not get repeated later), so revisiting the past few "Coming Soon" posts is the best way to pick up stragglers.
