Full disclosure - I started Rifles for Watie in college - it probably took me 5 years to actually pick it up and finish. I'm not really into the history surrounding the Civil War so I didn't have too much of a base of reference for some of this book but it was easy enough to keep up with.
The book is interesting in that it shows both the North and South in positive and negative shades. Our protagonist is all both sides at points (a spy and I believe injury?) and he has friends on both sides. Overall, a fine read if you are really interested in the Civil War, but not one I'd recommend otherwise.
