Are there any good books regarding the motivations for the war? Something not driven by propaganda.

Are there any good books regarding the motivations for the war? Something not driven by propaganda.
(1) Motivations for secession, and
(2) Motivations for war.
Preservation of slavery was clearly the cause for secession. The Articles of Secession are remarkably clear, and they are written by the people who decided to secede. There's no hidden agenda or propaganda.
Preservation of the Confederacy was clearly the cause for the war. Confederate troops fired on Fort Sumter to remove Union troops from property owned by the Union.

Lincoln and the first shot
Basically, assertion that Lincoln desperately wanted south to fire first and goaded them into fort Sumpter.
