News About Books The American Civil war has produced more literature than any other war in history and continues to be an inexhaustible source of inspiration not only for histories and biographies but for novels aa well. Author Bruce Catton, whose Civil war history, "This Hal lowed Ground," is now on best seller lists, feels that heightened interest in the war and in America's historical past has re sulted ifrom recent literature's presentation of that past from the standpoint of ordinary peo ple. The popularity of Catton's latest book has brought about renewed interest in his earlier book on the subject, "Mr. Lin coln's Army." Another popular recent book on the period is "Grey Fox; Robert E. Lee and the Civil War," by Burke Davis. Complete Biography The most complete and au thentic biography of the great man and soldier remains, how e v e r. Freeman's four-volume "R. E. Lee." Among the many recent biographies of Civil war personalities most give special attention to Lincoln and to his family. James G. Randall has just published "Mr. Lincoln," a one-volume work based on his four -volume biography. "Lin coln the President." Ruth P. Randall has rounded out the family picture in "Mary Lin coln" and in "Lincoln's Sons."
