Reconstruction A Concise History
Reconstruction: A Concise History' is a gracefully-written interpretation of Reconstruction as a spirited struggle to re-integrate the defeated Southern Confederacy into the American Union after the Civil War, to bring African Americans into the political mainstream of American life, and to recreate the Southern economy after a Northern, free-labor model.

I like reading history and have read precious little about the Reconstruction specifically. For me, this was an excellent introduction and the author delivers on his description that the book is “a basic scaffolding for understanding the Reconstruction.” I wish more history books were like this.
