For number of words, I might swap out one of my choices for Bruce Catton's The Army of The Potomac which runs to 3 vols.

If you like Anna Karenina I highly recommend reading War and Peace too. It's like the zoomed out equivalent of Anna Karenina: less focused on one topic and less sharp in detail and realism, but wider in scope and experience.
I'm amused by your hesitance when it comes to picking your 3 books; my choices are set in stone.
