In one of the current popular mags, Krick laments the absence of a Roswell Ripley biography.

I thought the 1862 Seven Days had some upcoming titles?

There are a few more, but I am interested in deep new biographical studies. Beauregard needs a fair military appraisal, and Joe Johnston (hurry up, Richard McMurry) needs a deeper evaluation. At the top of my list is Longstreet, who I still believe is waiting a good in-depth military biography.
