August books roundup

Getting the seasonal booklists together at sister site Civil War Book News is generally slow going. For instance, the list of publisher's information posted there is just now passing into April, 2004. To compensate for this public info deficiency, I've been using this forum, since July, to publish simple notices.

This is an installment in that sereies.

These books of interest were published (or republished) in August:
