I especially liked his novels about the Revolutionary War, the Mexican War and World War I. They are good introductions to subjects and prepare you to start reading non-fiction accounts. In the first book of his Civil War in the West trilogy, about the Battle of Shiloh, I thought I was spotting some small factual errors (although I'm no expert), but it still was good and it helped me understand the course of the battle. For fact-based Civil War novels, though, you cannot beat Ralph Peters. That includes the historical novels published under his own name and also the Civil War mystery/suspense novels that he wrote as Owen Parry.
