Grant Moves South, by Bruce Catton. Grant's astonishing evolution from a faltering, fear-stricken officer in his first Civil War battles to a masterful commander two years later, told with the author's customary skill.

A Heritage and Its History, by Ivy Compton-Burnett. The 16th of the writer's novels is just like its predecessors: from a well-worn, faintly ludicrous tangle of love, marriage and the family are drawn insights sophisticated as sin.

The Wayward Wife, by Alberto Moravia. Somber short stories by an author who writes well of neurotic lovers, better of the vast spaces that separate them.

Brazen Chariots, by Robert Crisp. The inferno of tank warfare has never been better described than in this book by a South African major in the British army who fought Rommel at Tobruk.

Boswell for the Defence: 1769-1774, edited by William K. Wimsatt Jr. and Frederick A. Pottle. Bozzy settles down to marriage and his law practice, but his exuberance soon gets the better of him. Volume VII of the Yale series.
