>Catton or Foote?
Both have their merits. Catton's writing style is more journalistic. Foote is more baroque. Catton generally does a more sympathetic portrayal of the Union side, Foot at times does something similar for the Confederacy. If you read anything by Catton, read his Centennial History of the Civil War series.
>Tuchman or Clark?
Clark. Tuchman writes pretty good prose, but newer books about the beginnings to WW1 (Christopher Clark, Sean McMeekin, Margaret MacMillan, Max Hastings, etc.) are more comprehensive.
