Comments: Things are still gearing up for the fall, so, in terms of numbers, August will be another pretty light month. The Grant book is SB's August title, but it got a bit of an early release and is out already. For me, the most highly anticipated release of the month is the Hess book on CW cavalry.
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.
