Finished This Terrible Sounds back in January and I have to agree that it is one of the best Civil War books I have read. The level of detail in unsurpassed. I have never read anything like it. It is an account of the huge battle of Chickamagua down to the regiment level. Because the battle was fought largely as actions by individual brigades, with some level of division level coordination, this level of detail makes sense.
Cozzens book on Chickamauga is good but for even more level of detail see recently published "THE MAPS OF CHICKAMAUGA: An Atlas of the Chickamauga Campaign, Including the Tullahoma Operations, June 22 - September 23, 1863" by David Powell which is simply amazing:
